I started singing.

The audience rose to their feet.

The sounds of screaming, cheering, crying fans were music to my ears….get it!?

Sure enough, I was offered many “contracts”.

Not sure whether the audience was full of hit men or record executives.

Someone told me rather unkindly, that they were the same thing.

I had ice cream. A banana. A coffee and a toffee.

What a stroke of luck.

They gave us a free card. Well, it must be free as they didn’t charge anything.

Not so fast. The costs started from the moment we dialed the phone number.

We should have known as “1 800 I EAT YOU” sounds a bit, well, dodgy.

There is a difference between a gift horse (never look it in the mouth) and a Trojan Horse (never let it in).

So now we know.

Strange how “Know” is “Now” with a K in front….

Not too concerned that I may have skipped a number, providing no two are the same, the total is the least important piece of information.

It was the pleasure of doing, the long haul, and the continuing delight of adding more to the treasure trove of work.

That’s the reward of making things.

The building appeared made of garden shed materials. Block board, particle board, too many nails and some hastily stuffed insulation.

Even so, it took over a year to complete.

Construction of houses in the western United States was not technologically advanced…still isn’t.

Laborious and repetitive tasks were and are the rule.

Nothing pre-formed and generally, well, nothing but lavish garden sheds too close to each other and selling for insane – what poor value – prices.

At least there is room for improvement!

We observed a theta-delta event and had no idea what it meant.

Really enjoyed it though. Wonderful in all it’s, we think, colors and sparkling vibrancy.

Have you ever had that, an experience which cannot be described in physical terms we use every day?

Nor physics. Or even chemistry, biotechnology, Quantum mechanics, nano-technology, string theory, or a general number field sieve.

No this was “different”.

Not an ordinary or idiosyncratic moment.

Something. Other.
