Ladies and Gentlemen, it is so on.
The show is in complete full swing--- the it of it is very thick right now. I am sending out the press release (in German!), rehearsing the dancers (they are sweet and doing great!), choreographing the singer's gestures, trying to organize the musicians' rehearsals (on Saturday), correcting the postcards (I had the wrong area code for Cologne! Noooo! 6 hours of cleverly positioned stickers and all is well), fitting the costumes, and trying to figure out where to buy props... among many other tasks. All while rehearsing myself in two of the trickiest baroque dance choreographies (The Passacaille of Venus and Adonis and The Turkish Dance) because I am certifiably insane.
It is really winter here. Below freezing! With Snow! I can't ride my bike, and the radio had a little bit about how the mail is not getting delivered. The train on Wednesday was 20 minutes late because it was too cold. Geez. It really proves the cold is unusual here (it wouldn't stop the New York City Transit!)--- on koeln.de it says this is the coldest it's been in a thousand years.
I am now completely in love with Julia Child. I picked up "My Life in France" in America, and I can hardly put it down (but I had to in order to affix all those stickers to the postcards!). If you want to read a romantic and lovely ex-pat book, this is the one. All the magic of being a foreigner and discovering your true love.
Life is beautiful, no?

My goodness, I'm tired just reading your schedule. We've noticed how cold you've been in Cologne. Aren't you lucky - the coldest in a thousand years!
