This page has a few pictures of what was an amazing life experience for me.

Anyone who knows me, or has met me, knows that I am a "ham". I worked my way through high school as an amateur magician doing birthday parties at the local ice cream store and so on. This "look at me, look at me" need was handled by my first real job teaching computer programming and other technical subjects.

Some friends were in a play at Prescott Fine Arts Association and my dormant Attention Requirement Disorder genes were reignited. I originally auditioned for a small part, only about a page and a half in the script. The director, Bruce Lanning, had other ideas and cast me as one of the main characters. That'll make you go "gulp". Well, a month later and I'm on stage with an incredible bunch of characters (the actors, that is) relating the struggles of life and love for a mildly retarded, donut loving Norman Bulansky.

I am going to miss these people something fierce. But they know that "our door is always open, and our path is free to walk" and the guest room will be the first thing completed in our new "rescue house".

We miss you all.

Thank you for visiting with me. Come again...

"A cop kept coming by saying 'You can't sleep on those benches'  Boy you're telling me I told him!!"

"Jack, will you take me home? I think I'll go to Russia when I get it worked out a little better.  Frankly it's an awful long wait."
