I'm Not Dead Yet!

I'm not dead yet
I can laugh and I can sing
I'm not dead yet
I can do the highland fling

What I am is easily distracted. I guess life can do that to ya. So what has changed since last... october was it? Well let's see...

Since my last entry was about the little fiasco upstairs, I'll update that. I've been summonzed twice to testify against the dude, and both times the case has been continued. The third summons has just come in the mail, but if the trial date is after May 15, theres a problem.

That problem being that Kathy and I have taken summer employment at the Black Hills Playhouse near Custer S.D. She's going to design two sets and be the charge scenic artist, while I'm going to act as Technical Director and design lights for one show. We have to be there May 15, and it's probably a 10 hour drive (conservative estimate) so they'd better get this freak in front of a jury soon or they'll loose the "little old lady downstairs" (See Twelve Angry Men)

But we're excited about the jobs. Plus, we'll be able to take the cat with us. Remember the cat with the foobar eye? He's doing really well these days. No trace of the old eye problems, fat and happy. A side benifit of all the pills I had to force down his gullet is that now he's perfectly content to lay upside down on my lap, so long as I don't try to force feed him anything. The result is I can comb out his belly, which is where the matting always gets out of hand, (which if you remember was what initiated the entire affair.) Things good there.

Um...Pirates... right... taking a break from pirating for a while. The summer job means I won't be able to hold rehearsals with the renaissance troupe, so I've more or less disbanded the group. Steve will continue with his pirate gig I suppose (Pirates of Tortuga) and I wish him the best of luck. I've resigned from that group as well. Let's just say there was a difference of mind-set that was becoming alarmingly clear... and I really don't care much for people trying to force their values on me, pirate or not. So, though I shall remain a pirate at heart, unfortunately I won't be making any money at it for the time being. It's a hobby we'll pick back up tho... Kathy and I are developing a new show for 2008... sort of a "Pirates on Avenue Q" sorta thing.

Anyway... we're alive and kicking... hope you are to!
