The new week is a lot like the old week...

So my girlfriend calls, tells me it is going to rain all night. Suggested I consider coming home early. I looked around, figured we might get a half hour rain shower and it would pass.

So it rained ... it poured ... the parking lot flooded ... a transformer was hit by lightening and there were no lights. Kids were crying, and I was wet - and when I say "wet", I mean from head to toe! Not one piece of dry clothing on me what-so-ever!

I packed up everything into my truck in the rain, and gave a big sigh of relief ... wheew! Ummm ... ut oh ... the truck won't start?!? Nope ... the truck won't start! I was there another hour tracking down security ... got a jump start, and (finally) made it home.

Ladies and gentlemen ... this is another shining example of why I should listen to my girlfriend more often! Dana is always very supportive and deserves a big thank you ... she is always there for me, and really keeps me going. While I'm working my pitch, she is often on the phone with me - it can be a real advantage when doing a show, like how a newscaster has the little voice in his ear telling him what questions to ask or what the latest breaking news is. Dana is a big plus in my act, and I should thank her (Dana, thank you).



So I always try to stick to the positive sides of things ... and while I had a miserable wet cold night, I also met a 13 year old magician at the magic shop who probably owns more magic than I do. I shock his hand and commented on how I could be meeting the next David Copperfield. And I also got to talk shop with Chris (the new guy in Conley's shop) - he has a lot of talent for his age, working with Conley is a big break for him and I'm sure he is on his way to having a career in magic.

So I'm going to leave you with this pic ... it was taken after the rain shower, and before the rain storm. Again, I always try to stick to the positive sides of things and what could be more positive than a beautiful sight such as this:
