I'd be really hungry and eating a buffet right now? How about you?
What would you be doing if you could do anything right now?

Space travel.
Or travel in general.
Barring that, I'd like to finish my latest story, unimpeded by work demands.

Oh lawd yes to be listening to some jammin' live music, even bad live music if their heart's in it would be just swell...well yeah okay not really bad music, I mean no cover tunes bein' brutally murderized and I'd be just dandy as candy
I'd be on day 3 of a week-long kid-free vacation in Maldives having some adult fun with the hubby.
Your post made me think of the song Feelin' Love by Paula Cole from the City of Angels soundtrack.
Sleeping. No, seriously. I'm tired! Still a couple more hours to go before Slumbercity, darn it.
"...the innocent sleep. Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care."
My kids were in that play last summer (as MacDuff and MacDuff's son)--gave me a reason to revisit an old favorite
How cool is that? I'd love to be in a Shakespeare play but my clumsy accent and self-conscious demeanor are not suited for the stage, lol.

It's a teen theater troupe
Last summer they did Macbeth and Twelfth Night, and it just about killed the kids--lol. This year they're doing Alice Through the Looking Glass, from a script written by the director. You have to be pretty careful with Wonderland--easy to consciously or unconsciously ape what Disney owns, and that's never a good idea. My son was a last minute cast addition last year, when MacDuff's son quit the play; he's a lot younger than the rest of the kids (10 this year, while most of the other kids are 16-20). He was a natural, though--a critic from the southern part of the state (from the university where the Shakespearean Festival is held each year) was there to see his grand kid in the play, and at the end told my husband he wanted to interview Nick for his radio show and help him make contact with organizers of the festival--LOL! He had a lot of fun doing those plays.
That's terrific. Sounds like you have raised some out-going kids! What did Nick say? Ten years old, wow, that's young! Does he understand the play? I suppose you helped him with all that, huh?It's a teen theater troupe
That reminds me...do you remember Irving's book In One Person? I still think about those characters and how the entire family was involved in the play productions. The mom was the prompter, I think. The cross dressing grandfather was very funny. Sorry to get off on that.

And I did like that book. I've only read it once, but now I'm thinking it's time for a re-read. I remember that in a weird way it reminded me of Hotel New Hampshire, but I can't remember why.I worked with Nick a bit, but it was really his sister that did the most. She loves performing, and has read several Shakespeare plays aloud to him--so far, he's liked Hamlet best. You haven't lived until you're listening to your 16 and 9 year olds giggling together over 400 year old dirty jokes
Riding a horse. Preferably bareback, in the moonlight. And if I'm allowed to dream, the horse would be my old favorite, Hershey, back from the dead. He was awesome.

Owning a horse farm, and going out to see them right now.
