T minus 23 hours
Well, yet another exciting week has gone by, and 23 hours I will be in the southern skies heading towards Orlando. I am pretty excited, not only to go to Disney World, this will be my first time aboard a large airplane. The takeoff, I think, will be the best part. Little Gigi is excited as well, but as luck would have it, she came down with a cold 3 days ago. Fortunately she is almost over it. Shell is also excited, well heck who wouldn't be.
O.k. onto the non vacation stuff. This week I solidified or I should say strengthened an online friendship with a fellow magician, and am pretty stoked about this. I know on the outside you are saying,"so what's the big deal, I chat with people online all the time?" Well, as magicians you are upheld to a code of silence, you cannot freely chat on the forums about specific effects, and for specific help. But by having a trusted fellow magi, such as he, we can discuss the finer details about routines, effects, moves, and the such. The only thing I regret is that I don't live closer to where I could meet up with him for some sessions. Should I visit him it would take 14 and a half hours to drive there, basically a whole weekend. That is better than 15 hours though. I would give him a shout out, but magicians code you know, I can't reveal who he is. I can tell you who the masked magician is though. Chances are you don't really want to know.
I received my latest order from SpookClub Tuesday, and got some great books, and a couple of effects. Lately, I have been devouring books, as I have more effects than I can perform. Busking is seeming so much more interesting to me, and I think it would do well here since I'm in a college town. Currently, I am working on building a couple of personas, working out their nuances, and personalities. I can't seem to think of any real catchy names. They will come as the personalities get developed though, and I will gladly let you in on them.
Last night I watched Disney's made for t.v. movie, "You gotta see this..." and I was very entertained, they did several illusions that were neat. A couple they botched to go along with the story line, though I personally would have rather seen them played out properly. All in all, a great movie for the family and rather entertaining. The plot is designed for a kid to keep up, and there aren't any subtleties, such as what is going to happen, but it was good. Bravo, Bravo, another decent family movie.
I am hooked on this little game right now

it is a neat little game, but not for the kiddies. My high score, no pun intended is 420,568,009. And I can't seem to beat that, man that would be cool in real life.
So, back to magic based stuff, I am torn as to take more than my TT, a deck of cards, and a few sponge balls, to Disney World. I don't think the little girl will get bored, but I might, plus I need to work on my spongeball work more. I think I am going to have more downtime than I am thinking now. My mother-in-law is going with us,(I know what you're thinking, but she is not a typical in-law, she is great), and she is fighting bone spurs in both feet. Shell and I tried to talk here into taking a wheel chair, but of course she won't have it. I can't say I would if I were in that position. I am defiately packing books. Anyway, I'll sort all of that out later.
Well, I better get packin, literally. I wish you all a great week, and I will post back on Sunday, hopefully I will learn how to put pictures here when I get back.
Peace, Love, and happiness
