It's Alive! It's Alive!

It's alive! Today was the first time I felt the little man kick. I had put a pair of head phones up to M's tummy and piped some Enya through the head phones. I asked M if she could feel how he was moving to the music. She said that it felt like he was sort of moving his arms back and forth slowly. I told M that I'd like to do some experiments with different types of music. For example;
The Beatles, Dave Brubeck, Van Morrison, Edvard Grieg, even perhaps some light techno, but the essentials first. We probably won't try it for a nother month or so, but I 'm interested to see what happens and how he reacts to the different variations of music.

On Friday evening I went down to the Upfront Theatre which is Ryan Stiles's new little improv theatre downtown. I was given a call by the manager of the theatre to come down and meet the people and get a tour of the space. It's a really nice space, it seats about a hundred or so, and seems to sell out every weekend. When I was down there I really didn't think that I would get to meet Ryan Stiles, beacause he shows up when ever he wants, seeing how he owns the place. So anyway, I was in the lighting /sound booth talking to a person of the visiting improv group from Seattle, when Ryan Stiles pops in and says hi. It sort of cought me off guard, but he was really nice and friendly. When he is visiting he M.C.'s the show. The group that was prefoming that night was very funny, and at the end of the long piece they finish with improv games and thats when Ryan joins in with them. It was all very funny and made it a great ending to a great night. I do plan to go back and volunteer some more cause it was really awsome experience.

So as I sit here pondering away I can only think of one thing,.........Life if pretty good.:-)

It's been a long, long time.

Alots been going on in the last few months. First off I want to send my congrats to our dear friends Diego and his wife on thier new born daughter Zoe. I have a feeling that she'll grow up to be a wonderful person and have a great imagination. Also my wife and I have found out the gender of our child. It's going to be a boy!!!! Oh yes a boy he said a boy!! His name will be Adrian Conrad Sheridan. M and I sat down one day to decide the fate of our childs name. As some of you know we both have all of our parents lasts names. We were trying come up with different combinations of our four last names. We ended up with about eight different combos but only Conrad Sheridan sounded the better of the group. Both M and I had to make sure that later on in life Adrian wouldn't have to endure any ridicule or stress with having 50 last names. So with luck he'll be the talk of the town and one heck of a Theatre guy. (no pressure)

On to more new business, no punn intended. My wife and I have finally gotten our home business off the ground. Its titled Pixie Digital Photographic Restoration, "Recapturing your Memories one Pixel at a Time". We're going to offer photo restoration and all related services. I don't want to go too much into a new subject but most info you can find on the official web site for it. http://www.geocities.com/pixierestoration It's still very much under construction but the logo I came up with is pretty awsome. Thank you Adobe.

The summer theatre season is over at the Mt. Baker Theatre. Now my summer is really empty, but hopefully not for long. Yesterday I got a call from the Upfront Theatre, which is a new small theatre here in B'ham. The person who I talked to asked if I could come in on Friday and/or Saturday so that I could get to meet everyone there. For those who don't know this theatre is owned by Ryan Stiles, from (The Drew Carey Show, and Who's Line). Now it's not a paid position, it's volunteer, but it will keep me in the technical theatre mindset. It should be pretty awsome, and I'll keep everyone up to speed on that.

One last thing I'm going to use my Reel Songs web page to post around the house, baby and mommy pictures until I figure how to post pics on the blog here. http://www.geocities.com/radioshowkugs Well that's all for now but I won't keep the public hanging for long. Catch you all on the flip side.
