Game Day

Most people who know me realize that sports are not my cup of tea.  That phrase alone likely shows that I can't even make good sports metaphors.

Today, Chicago is apparently playing in a very important game.  I don't think I'll watch it, but I'll make effort to show some civic pride.  As most folks know, when I do a birthday party, I like to bring a special pre-made balloon for the birthday child.  This is one of my favorite parts of doing parties.

The party I'm doing today is for a first birthday.  For whatever reason, the child has not yet indicated a preference for favorite balloons.  Astounding!  I offered to bring a surprise, and thinking of things was tough...cute, and for a boy.

Well, it's the big game day, so I kind of hedged my bets and am bringing two sculptures!  Yes, two!

Here's to hoping that they like them!

It feels as though I've found my voice again, but I know I need to refine it's timbre and tone. Of late I've been writing draft after draft after draft of snippets of ideas and thoughts that warrant more exploration. Today, I decideed to challenge myself to go out into the world and just write a few words about what I saw. It's been something I've struggled with all weekend, which I think is part of my own deep uneasiness about society and the state of politics in the world today. Ahem...that can get me down another tangent. Today was the last day before I head back to work tomorrow and I needed to get on my bike and just experiece my city. I didn't want to push myself or get in a workout, I just wanted to see. I pumped up my tires and hit the streets. I meandered past a garage sale where a LuluLarue consultant was making one last push to get rid of product. I saw gardens and cats on porches. I geared down and climbed up hills and ended up at Wapato Park. You co

Solo Performance Workshop

I've had the privilege for the last several weeks to get to participate in a Solo Performance workshop. I knew right away that when I first met Michelle Matlock that I wanted to learn from her.  Michelle runs  Circle Up Productions , an a new venture here in  the South Sound. Circle Up does a little bit of everything in the event world. Basically put, she can make every event incredible. With a background in theater, clowning and circus arts, Michelle has performed all over the world. However, her roots are here in the Northwest, and she has opened up Circle Up to share her knowledge and skills to help Tacoma truly become the city of Destiny. Last week I joined Michelle for a sneak preview of the Venardos Circus and again affirmed that I struggle with juggling. Tonight we had our first exhibit of the projects we have been working on. My performance was a bit off the cuff, but it was just a joy to hear the projects developed by the other participants. I was exciting to perform again

It's not often field which I am the target market. But I think this device was made for me: This  Bicycle powered Air Compressor . <iframe width="372" height="239" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k8sWYX3-jx8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Now, I don't know how to build this, but I'm gosh darn it, I'm going to figure out how. If you or anyone you know can point me in a direction or help me to build this, I'd appreciate it. Or if you know of an even better option to create a pump to integrate in with a bike, that would be great as well.
