Christmas Wish List

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We have two months until the families get together and sometimes getting the shopping done early is nice. Can everyone post their wishes and wants in the comment section or in a new post? Thanks in advance, we love you all.

~ Lee and Q

the D.A.D. phone

DAD has been having some problems with texts.
He has not been able to send text messages.

since this has happened, he is feeling out of touch with you guys. phone calls are not always returned so text messaging has been great for him.
if you can, please call him with updates, so he won't drive me crazy! 
THANKS!!!!!

Minnesota Update

Morning!

So the next few weeks are going to be a bit of a whirlwind for me.

I fly out tomorrow (Friday) evening to NYC for a four-day workshop of my play, AND SHE WOULD STAND LIKE THIS, which is being performed on October 9th at CUNY as part of PRELUDE 2014 (http://preludenyc.org/).

I will be staying with Daveed and Sherri (respectively) and taking meetings/hanging out with friends while I'm there.

I'm back to Minneapolis next Wednesday and then BACK to NYC the week after that for the presentation. 

An excerpt from my play, THE SALVAGERS, will be read as part of PlayLabs at the Playwrights' Center on October 26th (http://www.pwcenter.org/playlabs.php) and I'll be workshopping my one man play, TAKE CARE OF YR BLESSINGS (in which I will be both playwright AND ACTOR) at the PWC November 3rd-5th.

Backtracking for a moment, I had a GREAT time in Texas two weeks ago. It was WONDERFUL to hang with Lee and Q in Houston and the Black & Latino Playwrights' Conference turned out to be an AWESOME/FRUITFUL experience. I definitely want to go back!

Love you all and hope that you are well.

Houston Rivers

Hello dear family. All is well with the Houston (temporarily European) Rivers. The temps are definitely not that of Autumn, but those will kick in around the end of October. I am praying they come sooner, so please indulge and post lots of pictures of the leaves, the cookies, and the pumpkins.

Lee is obviously in Prague right now and enjoying the city. He has already figured out the Metro system. He has a gift for that sort of thing no matter what new city we visit. By the time I get there, he will me navigating Europe in no time so I can spend time doing more important things, like shopping and eating :)

As you can see in the picture he is already enjoying his meals, and rightfully so.

It was a treat having Harrison in town last week. He is more than welcome to return at any time. I always love catching up with him and hearing about all of the progress and success he is having in his writing. I am so proud of him (we all are).

And we got to Face Time with the anniversary love birds James & Megan... and of course our handsome little one Landon. I was obviously very exited about this opportunity.









 We said rest in peace to our water heater this weekend. Apparently the condo below had some massive flooding and water damage on the ceiling. Our neighbor was nice about it though and the fortunately the water heater got replaced the next day. It is amazing how much we take for granted the simple things like a warm/hot water when you want to wash your hands or face, and obviously shower.

Work has been crazy for me. Pulling some late nights to get things in order for my staff while I am out of the office. Half way packed, saving room for souvenirs and gifts. There is still a lot to do. Trying to remember everything.

Oh! I almost forgot, could everyone say a prayer for me? I applied for a position with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), I got through the first portion of the qualifier, which is a huge part. Unfortunately, you cannot just apply for these things. You have to submit drug/criminal history, answer 500 questions, and then submit a resume and application. Please pray that if it is God's will He will move me through this process and into the job. A huge bonus is that it is based in Houston, which means I do not have to sign a Relocation Contract. I have always wanted to have a Federal job but they all require you to sign a contract agreeing to go wherever they need you the most in the US. Due to Lee's career right now that is not feasible for us so this would be a grand opportunity.

That is all for now. Will post more upon our return. Love you all to infinity and beyond.

Lee & Q

HelloHelloHello

you know the drill... i need updates!
Q will be traveling soon
Lee is already abroad
Harry is returning from Texas
Jon & Ash got in some Landon time

Fill in the rest of the details!

The D.A.D. surgery went really well. The recheck on his eyes show that the pressure was down already. He has a recheck this week with the doctor.
Allergies are getting to me right now. Had sneezing attacks last night but i am better today. Attended our annual Praisefest in the city park - lots of great music.
