It was really a fun evening around here.

I made it home a little late, but we all had a quick dinner and everyone already had their bath and my wife was entertaining my one year old son and four year old daughter for a while.

Instead of opening my laptop and doing some work or checking in with you guys, I decided to play some Wii with my son and was able to prove to him that I am still the master of football.   He can do all of the fancy spins and juke moves, but I reminded him that my simple way of playing the game is effective and successful.

After they went to bed, I stayed up and put together my first real written material.  It needs to be put together, in my opinion, in a larger format so I can substitute parts in and out as necessary to lengthen and shorten it to meet the time restraints and the group.

I would love to be able to bounce this stuff off of someone, but my son is probably the funniest person I know, but he doesn’t know (for a good reason) what a lesbian is yet and using him as a guide would just lead to all sorts of other questions and really make the whole experience unpleasant.

It was fun sitting and writing and I am coming up with a few different methods to see what works for me.

Initially, I had put together a small box of index cards and just started jotting simple things on them and putting them in the box.   That is probably a good idea than just keeping things in my head, but it really worked well sitting down in front of the keyboard and writing this down as a whole set.   

The stories were simple enough in my head that they went down on paper easily and I really didn’t care about the way it “sounded” on paper because these are things that are going to be told and not written.  Writing something and speaking the same thing are totally different experiences.  

I did buy a digital recorded to practice with, but finding the time and place to do this is going to be difficult.   My wife is NOT funny and she would definitely not be a judge of anything funny…
