The Circumference of the earth

SO - I am sitting here at the Pittsburgh Airport about to try and get on a flight to Dallas via Atlanta.

Today the bus driver informed us of a few facts that I found extremely interesting.

1. We spent a good 460 hours on that bus. That is over 2 weeks out of 3.5 months spent on a bus.
2. We spent over 18K on fuel alone.
3. We drove over 26,000 miles...the circumference of the earth is around 24,500 miles.


We practically drove around the world.

Dallas here I come - and i've never been more excited about it. :-)

The final stretch

10 days left. I can not WAIT to get home to my apartment, my wife, my dog, my own bed, even my awesome minivan. Things learned thus far.

1. Having amazing talent can get you very far, but if you've got connections and a moderate amount of skill, you'll probably go further.

2. I've learned alot about how to search for work in my field.

3. There will always be someone who is gonna make it difficult to just exist in your everyday life.

4. I've learned how to deal with that person.

5. Did I mention that connections are important?


Currently I am in Muncie, Indiana, home of Ball State University. Yesterday the propsmaster for our show flaked out and left, and also attempted to sabotage the crew. Petty man. The crew is resilient, and big props to Jon and the rest of them for calling a great show yesterday.

I will be working at EECU again this summer, happy day for having a job! Thank you Lord.

And now....back to the "grindstone!" Showtime.
