go see Gus Schulenburg's Riding the Bull in the fringe. I saw it and
it's pretty great.

The problem that NY Firefighters have with Guiliani's leadership and
his platform which rests on the ashes of September 11.

Firefighters Interested in Registration and Education Political Action
Committee (www.iaff.org)

This Friday I will turn 30. Being that I am turning 30, now is a good time to be critical of my life and bemoan my plight and perhaps even celebrate my accomplishments.
Things I haven’t done:
Learned Spanish.
With the exception of France 12 years ago and Canada, I haven’t left the country.
Written a novel (although I’m about 17,000 words into one and had to put it aside to write plays and screenplays. Maybe next year)
Run a marathon. (In fact I’m not really in great shape right now. But I’m going to start going to the gym again, I swear.) (this is starting to sound like new years resolutions. 30 year resolutions?)
Learned a musical instrument. (this may never happen.)
Paid off my student loans (or come anywhere near doing so)
Bought a house or apartment.
Things I did:
Learned to drive, swim, speak, write, read, cook a few things.
Wrote 19 or so plays that are over an hour long, 3 or 4 one acts, 30 or so ten min plays. Most of the 10 min plays have been done, many of them multiple times. I’ve had 7 of my long plays on their feet, 4 of them have had 2 or more productions. Three of them are now published.
Co-wrote one screenplay. Wrote another on my own and am working on a third.
Got a masters, went to Juilliard, got engaged.
So that’s not so bad. It was a good thirty years. In fact, if things keep going like this, I feel pretty good about it all. I’m OK, you’re OK. We’re all OK. Let another year come. They say 30 is the new 22.
