Presidents, Puppets and Pie!

Had a FANTASTIC weekend. Mary and I got to spend a lot of quality time together coming off of a week where I think we saw each other twice in 5 days... We even went on a doctor visit where we got to see the baby moving around in there... arms and legs were going to town. Definitely a ballerina or a soccer player.

A few things I learned over the weekend:

• Just because you knew how to use a sewing machine 10 years ago, does not mean you will be able to hop right back on and get a puppet made in 2 hours. As Mary put it, "Sewing machines are not bicycles."


• I am really excited about our new president. I am really inspired.


• Pumpkin Pie is my favorite of all sweet treats ever. If you want on my good side, bring me a pumpkin pie.


• If you are lucky enough to be married to someone who "gets" you, then you stand a far greater chance of making it in this world. Thank you sweetie for "getting" me.


• Mike Abdelseyed is a blast on stage. He came into town with Titanic Players this Saturday and we did a late night set. We didn't really talk about what we were going to do and we didn't even get to warm up together but had a very natural and fun two man show that I was proud of. When he comes back in April for a wedding we're going to make him play here again!


• There are apparently only 24 hours in a given day. I have been operating on an understanding that there were 29. Time to carve some stuff OUT.

Getting ready to write an article for Fuse Box Theatre's website and finish the concept for a new puppet long-form show we'll be doing in 5 or so months.

Back to the grind...
