Gulliver's Tour

My dear friends. You have all been most patient with me: We pulled out of Boston, drove all the way over to Wisconsin...and then found ourselves lost in the mysteries, oddities, and kindness of the Midwest.

Or at least the incredible amount of work that laid ahead.

So, time flew by. We had our truck break down multiple times, I drank and ate wonderful local things with my cast, I managed to win at chess (whoo-hoo!), and even had time to take A LOT of pictures. Our adventures have stretched from the Great Lakes to West Virginia to Minnesota to Connecticut. Oh yeah, and there's a lot more to talk about...like my time at Niagara Falls and how we had to end a show early because of a teacher in a dancing chicken suit. It's so much more fun to tell stories when you know they're true...and thus I will have to find ways to catch you up with all of it. Of course, I'll break down my duties a bit more, too. I promised myself as a person and an artist to plunge more thoroughly into the world beyond the digital and have succeeded to the sharpest of my sleepy perceptions. The writing muse also needed some conjuring, but here I am! (Must've been all the turkey and ham I ate this past week that has revived my energies...thank you, to parents for a fantastic feast.)

As for today we were in Pennsylvania and then bounced back into Dover, DE, for our show tomorrow. We then head for Scranton. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend; I'll be talking to you all soon!
