Howdy Folks. We are the Tanners. About a year ago we moved from New York City to Salt Lake City. We decided to create this blog as an easy means to keeping in touch with friends and family.
This summer we drove back east to Vermont and New York. Tara worked on her Masters Degree at Breadloaf--which, this summer, included writing a new play; writing research on the confluence of Pound, Yeats, Noh Drama, and the Irish Theatre; and developing a new curriculum for Drama in the Classroom. I directed a neutral mask workshop for Handcart Ensemble in the city, pretended to write some new poems, and found out I won best actor at the New York Independent Film Festival. Smashing, isn't it?
We got our copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at midnight. We read it as a family, and enjoyed it very much. River and Rain spent the summer reading, swinging in the hammock, swimming in the river, investigating eighteenth and nineteenth century cemeteries, climbing the weeping willow, etc.
We hit seventeen states driving there and back again, and...well, we're back.
