Ya know, sometimes you have to give advice before you can follow it. Maybe I
should write a book. Or two. Got lots of material both in note and mental
form. Now the time and disipline to write a book lacks the same disipline as
the deadline of a new puppet show that is booked so it will be a bit tougher
to motivate, but hey, perhaps I should follow my own advice. Let's see,
should the first one be about the circus of clowing or puppetry.... hmmmm...
Got myself thinking about this.
