Working again, in more than one way!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!

Well, I am gainfully employed, if only for two months. (I started early December.) I am back writing technical material, and man, what a challenge! But, that's the way I like it.

As well, I had the Lights of Christmas performance on Dec. 15th! That was so much fun. Yes, I was a wreck* having not performed for a paying audience like this in so long a time. The first show was a bit rough, but, honestly, so was the crowd! They were a tough bunch, but still laughed! Phew! The second show I did much better and the crowd was much more into it all. Lots of laughs. Isn't that the point of a ventriloquist/comedy show? I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! I especially liked the married couples that got the joke about Frank having to know martial arts; oh, but he didn't, as ... he's not married! I'll post pictures as soon as I can. It may be a bit since, I'm working again!

I have to admit, I was pretty nervous about working again. I wasn't sure I'd have the energy for the day-to-day grind. I have been surprised and blessed by God's grace that has been getting me through each day. I am totally whooped when I get home, but I am able to put in a good day's work. My prayer and goal is to give the good folks that hired me the best run book (operations manual) that they deserve! It is nice getting to put my Master's degree to work, too!

Ok, have to run. Pictures to follow. Also, look for performance pictures on my site. (http://www.chetdickenson.com/)

Later,

Chet
