Let the Week Begin!

Hey, it's Monday! Another Mother's Day has come and gone. We had a great dinner last night with the in-laws to celebrate it. Now it's time to prepare for the week. This morning we had a meeting at the Edwards Aquifer Authority offices to chat about Doc Ed stuff. It was a very productive meeting. I started packing the freebies for this weeks shows too and I'll pop in tomorrow for one last look-see in the event I forgot something today.

Bob Abdou a.k.a. Mr. Puppet.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow because I'll be having lunch with some very cool people from the hometown variety entertainer business. I'll be enjoying Chinese food with Rik Gern (Bonzo Crunch, Fool at Large), Bob Abdou (Mr. Puppet) and David Pitts ( The Astonishing Mr. Pitts). Sounds like characters straight out of a comic book from the nineteen fifties. I don't visit often enough with these guys and it always feel good to hang out with kindred spirits. Bob and his wife will be pulling up stakes late this summer relocating to Columbus, Ohio in August. He will be sorely missed. He's a great guy and a fine entertainer. He'll be providing quality entertainment to all up north. Happy trails, Bob!
