Monday

Monday started out by making sure Buster was up and out the door for school. Last year at Madison Middle School we had to get up at 6AM, he was out the door at 6:50 and the bus came at 7. This year he is attending NOVA High School. I set my alarm for 7:30AM (he doesn't want me to fix him breakfast anymore) He was getting out of the shower. Out the door by 7:55 and he takes city buses. He's on the first bus at 8:06. School is from 9AM-4PM. I went back to bed.

When I got up at 10AM I polished up some cups to be shipped to Yardly, PA. I also got some tricky wallets and video's to be shipped as well.

Got a call from Greg Irwin and we discussed the possible gig in Beijing next month. There is a good chance that I'll be over there for a week. I learned a long time ago, when it comes to gigs or showbiz opportunities; you NEVER get too excited about it till you are there. Things can fall apart quickly. But I hope it happens.

Instant messaged with Neil from Scotland for a while. We chatted about Steve Forte's "Gambling Protection Series" Video's.

I worked a couple hours at the market and got great response. Money wasn't great (as it was a slow monday) but the shows that I did do were right on the money!

Got a call from Mickey O'Conner who was off the cruise ship for a couple of days and spending time in LA where he keeps a place and a wife.

That's about it. More bullshit with Buster not coming home after school and worrying me as I had dinner on the table and thought we were going to a movie. He was sipping Chai Tea at a little Ethiopian joint near his school, I later found out.
