The new Planetarium is coming along quite well. I believe my coding is coming close to exceeding what they ever intended, which is awesome.

My first school shows are TOMORROW, so expect wonderful stories again starting then.

(I'm also supposed to get dunked in a dunk tank in between shows... Yipes.)

I just had a faculty member walk by and ask if I was "...over the Planetarium."

I wanted to say either: "No, I'm right next to it, like you are."

Or: "Yeah. It was a tough breakup and I was hurting for a bit. But I'm over it now."


I didn't -- just looked at her with a stupid looking trying not to be a wiseass. She obviously could see my anguish and explained, "I mean, do you RUN the Planetarium?"

Whew.

Took a breath: "Yeah, that's me."

Hey. I'm keeping my mouth shut instead of being an ass. It's an improvement!

THE WAIT IS OVER!!! After many long months of being shut down, we have reopening with a mind-boggling Digistar 4 system, and it is truly tremendous.

My first real show is in a few moments. It's for "Take Your Kids to Work Day", which is always horrific.

But I should be able to wow them now.

And I should be getting brand new stories to tell. Thank goodness. It's been quiet around here for a long while.....

...

..... too quiet.
