Our Chronometric Bodies
Been doing the presbyopia thing for a few years now (those are my “cheaters” in the photo above…one bow, good to go), but after a month-or-so break from the road I did a speaking engagement this week and discovered much to my chagrin that suddenly I can’t quite make out the words in my own books even when the book is resting on the podium at a decent distance.

Another Show Tonight
For information on tonight’s show time and tickets, please click here. For tomorrow, click here.
Last night’s premiere was a lively one, with an unexpected comedic moment when I opened the show by failing to light about four matches in a row whilst quoting Homer. Favorite part of the show for me? Sitting backstage mid-show, listening to a gung-ho crowd react to my fellow players. After watching how hard they worked all week to bring this together, it was nice to hear them rewarded by the folks in the seats.
Upshot of this show? I can now give you a nice little five-minute mini-history of the Fresnel lens.
Gotta Learn My Lines
For this upcoming performance, and this. Nervous, because I want to do well and honor the tent and those who created the work. But it’ll also be fun. Yessir. Rehearsed in the empty tent last night, mmmm, scent of canvas, sound of windblown flaps…
My eldest daughter has promised to help me get the memorization down.
Back In The Day
Just found this poster from 2004.
Town of Samson (sic – it was actually Sam[p]son) was an early iteration of the Long Beds.

Thank you to my cousin MJ, who shot these and sent them along. I like the one titled “Goofy Tooth.”
Later, A Double Capuccino
A local coffee shop does fabulous breakfasts. Things really boom on the weekends, and our pigs got the Sunday leftovers. They seem to especially favor the lemon ricotta crepes.

After we played a benefit show in Mike’s hometown of New Auburn, a sweet lady told us we sounded, “Just like Gordon Lightfoot…only zippier!” We figured that was about perfect.
