The Cast of Characters

The ducks are in a row.... or at least lining up around the block. We've made a handful of reservations (Chicago, Minneapolis, Yellowstone, Wyoming, and Rocky Mountain National Park) and have been busy tying up loose ends in Jersey. We have a sublease and they're moving in next Thursday. The kitties are moving in with the 'rents for the summer and we're buying stuff like this.

And so, for the cast of characters in our little cross country play. (Oh who am I kidding? It's going to be a musical)


Alex:
The leading lady of the piece and the author. Mid 20's. Grew up in Jersey but anything but a Jersey girl. Tall, pretty, sometimes lets her insecurities get the best of her--for about five minutes at a time. Comes from a neurotic Irish Catholic family. A brunette who has a tendency to interrupt people. A good actress with a high soprano belt.










Mickey:
Leading man of the piece with a good handle on dry comedy. Early - mid 20's. All around good guy, a pal, a bro, if you will. Sarcastic, cheeky, bordering on mean, (That's what he thinks) but in the end, he's true blue through and through. Keen sense of adventure and spontaneity. A sweet, lilting baritenor up to G.





Robert:
Chariot/Covered Wagon. Five years old. Trusty vehicle newly reunited with Alex and Mickey. Originally purchased in March 2007, will be repurchased tomorrow from Mickey's parents. Extremely loyal and forgiving (being that both Alex and Mickey learned how to drive manual on him). Had a weird smell in him for a while, back window smashed in New Brunswick, tail light broken in Hoboken but everything is patched. GOOOO ROBERT!











And so, the hardy trio turn their eyes to the West.....
