Arrived at Sleep Inn (part of Choice Hotels) after making an over the phone reservation. Guess what? The hotel is CLOSED FOR RENOVATION. How does that happen? And when I try to get a refund on the phone, I keep getting hung up on. NOT COOL. @ChoiceHotels #hotel #sleepinn

Fitness tip: when starting up running again, 1) find a four-legged running buddy, 2) first spend 2.5 months on a road trip bouncing into and out of high elevations so your body thinks it’s actually more fit than it… instagram.com/p/B1RIunOhaKu/…

@DawnRivard Thanks, Dawn!!!!!!! 😘

Last-minute announcement: I'm making my #roledebut as The Don TONIGHT for @dallasopera's production of #DonGiovanni, stepping in for an ailing colleague. I’m thrilled and honored to be sharing this stage full of absolutely world-class singers. See you @winspearoperahouse tonight!

It's opening night! Finally getting a bel canto role under my belt- Belcore/L'elisir is a blast! Super company & stellar cast! #elixiroflove

@CrumrineDDS - We love Dr. Pam Crumrine and her fantastic dental team! #smilesobright

Another pinch me/milestone event today- Nozze di Figaro/il Conte under the baton of Seiji Ozawa in Japan!!! Toi x3 to this amazing cast!!

Billy Budd final dress tonight! The dream of singing this role started 13 years ago when I first learned "Look! Through the port..."

Not everything is a cognate. I tried to tell a stage manager that I was embarrassed. I said, "Estoy embarazado." transl: "I am pregnant."

In Santiago getting ready for Billy Budd!! This role is a dream come true, and I feel truly blessed. Even better- my family is here with me!

Accomplishment for today: rode through unreal swarming of gnats and didn't inhale a single one!!

Singing the Count in Le nozze di Figaro 1.5 times in 8 hours was exhausting- but also a blast. Thank goodness for a day of vocal rest!!!

Most voice lessons feel like an oil change. The past 3 lessons with Dr. Stephen King felt like a complete engine swap! Vroom vrooooom!

Dear Houston, the heat and humidity were already enough shock to the system before cruel fate made my parent's A/C quit. Thanks.

I'm getting quite good at finding every single deduction possible. Although it's making me think singing opera is not very profitable...
