Kara is cute and funny.

I just laughed until I broke something over Kristin's slapstick routine.

G'morning all. I am happily ensconced in the lovely Westward Look Resort and Spa in Tucson. My mom and I decided to give each other a nice room and a couple of spa treatments in lieu of buying gifts this Christmas, which I'm voting an excellent decision so far.

This is the best present ever. From your stories about your mom (even little mentions like this one), I always get this feeling of this warm, wonderful, nuturing person. I'm so glad you're having this time together, Kristin. Merry Christmas.

That's what you get for trying to walk before you've ingested coffee, Kristin.

I used to walk into glass doors occasionally down in Florida where they're ubiquitous.

Aww. Thanks Cindy. And yes, that's her exactly with the added bonus of goofy, spontaneous, and fun.

I think I need to borrow Cass' padded hamster ball.

Well, at least you didn't injure yourself too badly.

Off to work. I gotta work tomorrow.

I think the problem with this is not so much that I don't have the holiday off, as that I never get extra days off without having to plan it out in advance, get permission, and use PTO.

About to start my second to last performance of A Christmas Carol for this year. Thank the gods.

After the second show and after striking all the sound equipment, I get to have dinner & drinks with friends from San Diego! Then it's home to pack myself up and crash for a few hours, before driving to the airport in the morning for my flight home to MI. Hopefully my 2.5 hour layover at O'Hare won't be too painful.

Have a good flight, SexM.

Oh, and I was reading through backlog in Natter a while ago. And, like a week or two ago, you asked if you, O_A and ND were the only sound guys on the board......

What am I? Burnt toast?

Or is this a snob thing, where I don't count 'cause I do lights and other stuff too?

::sticks out tongue::

Well, not burnt, maybe well done.

This is true, I think Sean is earning his stripes as a sound guy as well.

You work with a guy for two weeks, putting batteries in radio packs, taping up actors, lugging around cable and road cases, and cracking jokes about anything and everything. A month later, you're lucky if the guy remembers your name.

Effin' show buisness.
