So an update before I drop off.
I don’t really have a home as such, at least it doesn’t seem that way, as I’ve been very much a vagabond lately. A couple weeks in Eureka for the magic show, improve show, and creative writing speech. Then home for about a day. Then suddenly off to New York to help my sis move out her things from an apartment that would evict her soon.
Rescuers away!
In New Jersey I broke my big toe, falling off a very narrow bed. In New York I saw bad traffic. Near Philadelphia I visited a longtime-no-see cousin and went into his photography studio, after hours, to play poker with his friends and ended up winning the $100 winner-take-all jackpot in a Texas Hold’em game – which his friends found a little disheartening being that I was a suspicious looking, fedora clad stranger from Chicago who did magic.
Then I drove a lot.
Now I’m back for a bit, but I gotta arrange getting down to Springfield for my reading on the 18th – though I think I’ll go a few days early to visit friends in Springfield.
My lizard woke up from its hibernation (why is it that every time I talk about one of my pets, it sounds like a euphemism?). It turns out it’s pretty wild and I’ll have to work to tame the beast. I’ll get some welding gloves this evening . . .
In other news, this damn, still unfinished Forward to my book is taunting me!!!

I happened to notice that you posted this at about 9:15 a.m. Since when do you wake up this early? Your trip must have really messed with your sleep schedule. Good luck with the Forward. You’ll probably finish up the night before and do a fantastic job.
Oh no, no – I wasn’t up early. I was still up.

Yeah right, your wild, untamed lizard was never hibernating! Oh wait… you were talking about the tegu… did he tell you his name yet?
Don’t know the name yet. Wait . . . do you mean the tegu or my lizard?
The Tegu! He needs a name!!!
I’m not sure if he’s a he yet. And I don’t know its personality yet . . . other than biting and tail whiping.
you can name him/her Biting Tail-Whip Lizard. It’s a nice native american tribute to your new friend.

How about Dominick? You could call it Dom for short. Wow…the fact that there is enough knowledge in my head to make that joke makes me feel dirty. I hope you don’t get it.
