A look back. Despite the issues of this last year, it was a good year for me. After staying at my brothers for 6 months (Thank you for putting up with me, Jerome), I moved back into the room I lived in for a few months before I went on the road. All my stuff […]

Star Wars VII What a ride!
On Monday night I went to see Star Wars. I went to the Vista Theater (http://www.vintagecinemas.com/vista/). A restored classic movie theater. I got there about an hour before and was able to buy tickets right away. They don’t have online sales. The line wasn’t to long so I stood in line for about 40 min. […]

Tonight I had dinner at the Donria’s Haus of Pizza. It is a small Italian restaurant that has been at there current site sense the 80’s but started at another site in the 70’s. It is very much a “Hole in the Wall” place but has some very good pizza. The staff was very friendly […]

Here it is well into week two and I am finally updating. Training went well. It was very much like Amaluna. The big difference is that there are a lot less ques but a lot more ushers. Doors 3 and 4 have a divided entrance. There are stairs going up to the 200 sections and […]

I got up early on Wednesday (I know Jerome, 8 AM is early for me). It took a bit for the final bits to be finished. Packing the van, laundry, etc. I took some time to activate my 23 hour fitness membership. Now I am guaranteed a place to take a shower. I stopped by […]

But I had been prepared and had gotten breakfast and lunch the night before. The day progressed as expected. […]

I flew out of Seattle on Wednesday night. That’s right I took a red-eye. It was $140 cheaper than the cheapest daytime flight. As you might expect I did not sleep, only dosed. The plane was equipped with personal screens for each seat. I had a choice of videos, music, games, and flight info. I […]

Sorry about the long delay but I am a procrastinator. Guess what? Cirque is now in San Francisco and so am I! After spending a week at home and going to haunted houses with Cindy, I packed up my car and headed south… Well, North really. I decided to make this trip via highway 101, […]

I haven’t posted in a while and I have some time so here I am. There is one word to describe Minneapolis, Slow. We started late in the setup. Usually we come in at 8 AM to start setting up the chairs but they delayed us to 1PM. We managed to get all the chairs […]

On Tuesday I left home for a trek across two thirds of the country. The days were nice and uneventful. Just the way I like my drives. The first night I stopped at my sister, Annes, house. We met at a local (well, local is a relative term) steak house. After a good steak and […]
