Nov. 29 GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!

Fooled you didn't I!!! No, I am not going to have a baby, but one of my bosses is!!! This is his first born and the doctors are going to induce labor tonight! When he told us today I about jumped off the balcony I was so excited for him. I am still grinning like a fool.
Today we began the change over from A Christmas Story to A Christmas Carol. It was a great day. I got to work with lights and electrics. I have so much fun with those guys. Tomorrow I will be down in the trenches again helping move and lift heavy things, but for one day I got to be a shining star up in the sky.
I am excited to get going with Carol. I think it will be one heck of a show and when it is over...I GET TO GO HOME TO OREGON!!!!! YAY!
The only other really exciting thing is that I build a yo-yo for my secret Santa. It has been a lot of work and I have had to scrape and steal in order to find time to make the damn thing. But, now that it is almost done, I am very pleased with the result. I think my secret Santa will be happy too. I didn't realize how much I missed working with my hands. It is a very satisfying pass time.
Peace be with you

Nov. 26 Thanks for Everything

The last few days have been great. Thanksgiving was yesterday!!! Amazing food. Good friends. I can't say enough. It even snowed a little last night! I was so glad to get some much needed cold weather. Today was a two show day. Both audiences were great. It is sad to think we only have four shows left. I will sincerely miss Elfing around the Christmas tree. But on to bigger and better things. I am really digging the cold snap we are having right now. I hope it lasts.
Peace be with you

Nov. 23 T Day T Minus...

What a great day. We had a two show day. It was our last student matinée of A Christmas Story. This is our last week. I will be sad when the show is over. But I was very happy to nail the unicycle and trumpet part of the show both times today. It's amazing how easily middle school children are impressed. Or maybe a better way of looking at it is this: middle school children still have such a deep and profound sense of awe they can still be really impressed with a person riding a unicycle.
Peace be with you

Nov. 22 A Day OFFFFFFFF!!!

Oh what a great day. Sleeping in. Eating good food. I am just loving this. We have one more week of A Christmas Story. It's going to be great. I am going to miss Elfing around. But being on crew for Christmas Carol will be a lot of fun. It promises to be a great show. Thanksgiving in three days. WOW! Christmas in a month! Where does the time go.

Peace be with you

Nov. 17 Chicken

I just cooked a chicken breast for lunch tomorrow. I have begun running again. I can't go as far as I use to back in the old Marine Training Days, but it actually feels good to get my running legs back under me. We had a two show day today. The first audience was pretty good. The kids had a wonderful reaction to my unicycle. The second show had a smaller audience but they were very responsive and I think overall they had a good time. It was a beautiful crisp sunny November day today in Louisville. I love the air after it has rained. So fresh.
Peace be with you

Nov. 16 Rain!

It's raining again here in Louisville. I miss the rain. Today was a great day. I got to sleep in. Eat some delicious food, and egg sandwich! And then I went for a nice little run. Feeling good. Now I am getting ready to go to a performance of A Christmas Story. It promises to be fun.
Peace be with you
