This morning at breakfast I was joined by Charlie who complained of not feeling well. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with Chronic Pulmonary Obstruction Disease, which has frightened all of us. He has some medication, and a second check-up tomorow. Meanwhile, we revised our piece by having Jack, as a native Alaskan, tell his parts second-hand, but it's not the same, and we dearly hope he can join us, though we most want him to take care of himself.
We struggled through morning rehearsals, but managed a respectable dress rehearsal in front of high school students in the afternoon. Now, on to three performances a day for students the rest of the week.
