I hate January...

One day I'll find me a rich woman and she'll take me away from all this cold. Of course, then I'll bitch that it's too hot. I've been fighting a cold for the last week or so. That last little bit just won't go away. However, I know people who have it worse than I do, so I guess I'm lucky.

Yesterday, I had a wonderful time performing for executives for the Hershey Entertainment and Resort Company. This is the company that oversees Hersheypark, The Hershey Lodge, and one of my favorite places on earth, The Hotel Hershey. It was a business luncheon, only about 12 or 13 people. This is really the ideal situation for close-up magic. It was a business lucncheon held at a wonderful restaurant in Camp Hill PA called The Cellar. If you're ever in the area, I really urge you to check it out.

This weekend, I'll be taking a break from Scott's Grille to perform Friday night at the annual Dirt Trackin' Show at the York Fairgrounds in York, PA. This will be my 2nd year with them and I'm sure I'll have a blast just as I did last year. I'll be there Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday, 11-2.

Right now, I'm watching the inaugural parade. As a former band geek, I'm still a sucker for marching bands and boy were there plenty. I was actually drum major when I was a junior in high school, which makes me the head band geek. The coolest thing I saw in the parade was a group of astronauts marching, followed by a concept electric lunar rover. They were the last entrant in the parade and the rover stopped in front of the president and put on a little show. The thing has 6 or 8 wheels and just did a 360 as if to say, "Look what I can do, send me to the moon."
