My House, My week and other Stuff.

It was about 5 months ago I was asked to be part of something called The Festival of Words in my hometown of Moose Jaw. At the time it seems liked years away but now it's around the corner.
It's a very cool gathering of writers and artists that I really have no business being part of.
For me I'm just happy to be going back to the Jaw to get all sentimental and nostalgic and to hang out with Murry McLaughlin. Check it out here.

This time that I've been out of work has been stressful, I won't lie. But the most amazing thing about being out of work is the time I've spent with my girls. Yes you too Randee. I was always the Dad who was around but was too tired later in the day to do anything.(Getting up at 3:15 make you very groggy after 6pm.)
Now I'm the Dad who can stay awake till everyones bedtime. Wow.
I'm also the Dad who drives them and their friends everywhere cause the other Dads have to go to their "silly old jobs." I'm happy to do it and is definitely a big plus, which helps balance the big minus of not having a gig.

Speaking of which. The following conversation took place between my friends hot wife Angela and her daughter while they were listening to the Radio.

Daughter: Mommy what is Howard doing these days that he's not on the Radio anymore.
HOTWA: Well honey, he's not doing much of anything. He's promoting a book and trying to stay in his happy place.(That last part was mine.)
Daughter: Cause Mommy I saw a sign in Baskin and Robbins that they are looking for help. Maybe he could work there.
HOTWA: Aw that's sweet I'll let him know.

Thanks for that tip Hot Wife Angela. I've got no problems slinging ice cream. I'd just be worried that I'd blow up even fatter than I already am.
Well got to go. I've got to get my demo tape off to B+A before someone else gets the gig.
