Meatloaf and jam.....

As I am sitting here about to write my first blog entry I am suddenly reminded of an old Friends episode; Rachel has just mistakenly made meat loaf with jam as the other main ingredient. Everyone is in shock that Joey likes it and he is equally shocked that no one else likes it. “Jam.Good! Meatloaf. Good!”. Sitting here right now with a smile on my face I am thinking; Inspiration.Good.Creativity.Good.Innovation.Good.

The first week of Play is coming to an end, and this third of the yet to be named trio of interns has had a truely great week. So what is it that made it so great?

What makes any relationship great?
I am sure you can write down 10(and hopefully more) great things about your husband/wife/lover/boyfriend/girlfriend/partner, but from my experience it is not always an easy task to pinpoint the exact reason why you are together, why it works and what exactly makes it so great? It just is. I am sitting here with a feeling that this feels right. I hope over summer it will become more clear to me what creates the magic here at 1801, but like any great magic act I am not sure I want to know all of the secrets.

We have been given a thorough introduction to how Play works from the ground up. A great deal of trust, responsibility and insight has been given to us. This again makes me want to give back and that is maybe the way life is; if you want more of one thing, you should give more of that thing. The environment here is very contagious and I have woken up every morning eager to take the walk down Jefferson Ave. to Cary Street and start the day.

Right now I feel like a Kitchen Aid that is constantly getting new ingredients and spices thrown into the mix. I have no idea what the dish will look or taste like after cooking in the oven for 10 weeks, but I know it´s going to taste good and there will be more than enough for everyone to enjoy.
