What a day

Okay here's the scoop. Due to lack of finding work in Orlando either at the Mouse (I sub at Disney but haven't been able to lock down a full-time position there) or any kind of survival job I will be touring once more with Poetry Alive for at least the next 4-6 weeks (or maybe more) starting this Sunday when I drive to Georgetown, SC to begin shows on Monday. Sometimes we do what we have to do in order to do what we want to do and this is one of those instances. One of the things I'll miss about being in Orlando is the great writers group that I'm privilged to be a part of. If there were some way I could have stayed and make a living here I would have but as of right now that ain't happening. I do love touring so this is good news and I'll still be based here for now. In addition to finding out I'm going on the road again I also found out today that my uncle died in his sleep of a heart attack at the age of 51. He always treated me well and didn't have a mean bone in his body. At around the same time a dear friend of mine (who is literally like an aunt to me) was rushed into surgery with a bursted blood vessel in her brain and is in critical condition. So if you all could do me a favor and keep them and their families in your thoughts and pass positive vibes into the cosmos I would be most grateful. Thank you.
