And it feels good. Because of my work at the Cirque du Soleil which means I’ll be working in the US for the next two years, I need an American phone number and if you read this blog I ranted about purchasing an iPod, well this iPod Nano just doesn’t cut it anymore, I needed [...]

To fully depict how pretty and fun this town is. Though it has this appallingly poor area that I was discouraged to go into unless I just wanted to get dismembered. But this time around I found this treasure I was never told about. San Antonio has this Riverwalk that gives it this air of [...]

Once again while at work on Cirque du Soleil’s Saltimbanco, I was loged in a classy hotel where I was eating some expensive food, living in the lap of luxury in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Friends,
It would have to happen on Easter Sunday, wouldn’t it, that the 4,000th American soldier would die in Iraq. Play me that crazy preacher again, will you, about how maybe God, in all his infinite wisdom, may not exactly be blessing America these days. Is anyone surprised?

I finally got around to processing and uploading some pictures from my trip to Little Rock Arkansas while working on Saltimbanco.
