Ideas in motion

Your humble author on-stage in Orlando

Technically, of course, you aren’t the “voice of God” if people can see you. In that regard you might say my job last week didn’t work out exact;y as planned, as evidenced by the screen capture above (provided by Fanless of Fanless.com). On arriving at the venue I was rather matter-of-factly informed that the director had decided that for part of the show — the majority of it, actually — I was to be on-stage. It’s a damned good thing I brought my suit, that’s all I can say.

It went well, or well enough, anyway. Undoubtedly due to the overwhelming support vibes sent my way by you, my loyal readers and friends, I didn’t have even an iota of stage fright. There was an awkward moment at first, when the unrehearsed blocking was discovered to prevent me from seeing what was happening behind me, leaving me without a visual cue for going ahead. But that was quickly resolved, and the rest of the show went without incident.

With that event behind me, my Year of Motion continues with a trip to Phoenix. Yes, in a few hours I am going to board a plane for a location even hotter than Miami, where the high today is expected to be 112°F. Assuming I do not spontaneously burst into flames, you will hear from me again soon.
