It was a relief to get on the road for Gunma and Shizuoka. Everyone was a bit done in from our labors at Disney so it was a quiet, restorative ride to Gunma as a dozen people read, listened to music, looked out the window or napped. I observe that people who succeed at what we do have certain qualities in common. One is a natural curiosity and an interest in new experiences. They tend to be up for trying new foods, visiting new places and having new experiences. They are self-contained to the extent that they usually have something to hand that they are reading, listening to, or working on. One inescapable part of being on the road is that there is a lot of just hanging around in airports, dressing rooms and train stations waiting for the next thing to happen. So patience is a virtue. We all live very closely together so other basic adult skills such as being on time and having some consideration for the sensibilities of others are paramount to having a smooth happy tour. We have been blessed to have talented people who are also good people and I hope it will always be thus.
Some of the cast had remembered that the Gunma audience was quite responsive last year and so it proved again as they gave us a thunderous ovation at the end.
