And Now Where???

Well, my new den is done, it's a little small, but there is just enough room to practice in front of a mirror. I have been working on Harry Anderson's "Three Card Prince", I bought this effect at the PCAM in 2004 and just never got around to learning it, I am surprised I still had the instructions. It looked confusing at first, but as with all magic effects,you keep at it, it will come. Sunday was a sad day for the Tacoma Magic Club, we held a Broken Wand ceremony for long time member Don Brisbane. Don passed away a couple weeks ago and we decided to have a celebration if his life at the meeting. There wasn't a dry eye at the meeting, I have known Don for about 16 years. He was one of the first magicians I saw at the club perform, I will never forget his "Too Many Bottles" routine or his "Paper Hat" and "Side Walk Shuffle" routines. He is a dear friend and will be missed very much.
Things are heating up at work again(what else is new) now it turns out that the guy we hired specifically to work Saturday and Sunday night graveyards, can't work Sundays due to childcare issues on Monday morning. I don't want to sound like a dick, but he was hired for those days, childcare is not our problem. My wife and I have made child care arrangements so I can sleep. On top of that the other guy who can work nights, doesn't want to, so the store wants me to change my nights off. I can't do that, Saturday and Sunday are the only days I have with my family and the only nights I have with my wife(wink). I have been there 15 years this summer, these two combined have been there two years..... do the math.
I guess the one great thing to really look forward to is spring, fairs and fastivals will be starting. I put in applications at the Puyallup Fair, Spring fair, Meeker Days and the Pierce County Fair. We will see how things go.
