1 So...Robert Goulet walks into a bar...
2 So it goes...
3 Last night I was riding home in the TOOOOOONDRA when it felt like 40,0000 thieves started jumping up and down on the bed of the truck.
4 I didn't know what to think. At first I thought it was a couple of jokers jumping up and down. Then I thought it was someone trying to steal the TOOOOOONDRA.
5 I was parked and just getting ready to leave a Walgreens in the Evergreen area when the up-and-down began.
6 When I got out to investigate I put my keys in my pocket, worried that someone might be trying to steal the truck. I figured they couldn't knock me down and take off if I have the keys in my pocket.
7 After weighing all those scenarios, I just figured it was a ghost.
8 Halloween. Yeesh.
9 Moving on: The Heidi Chronz scared the bejeezus out of my first class yesterday.
10 It was absolutely perfect.
11 I was able to get into the Theater and set the cyc so it looked almost like flames of various colors: red, blue, orange glow resembling teeth, the entire class silhouetted as I lowered the lights from the booth.
12 Phantom.
13 I knew I had to deliver to this group, because to that very second I hadn't really broken through yet. I'm still the guy with the keys. At least until yesterday morning.
14 Something happened. I got into a rhythm with the all-to-familiar tales of Heidi. The story told itself with cool certainty.
15 It glided, it rolled, it got cold, and by the end, it just clicked. The lightboard clicked on and then clicked off later in the day. Three times. It wouldn't work. Then it did. Right when it needed to.
16 It was Halloween Eve.
17 I was in the Theatre.
18 Home field advantage.
19 Classic. Heidi seemed to be welcomed as a natural friend, and welcome legend. And she winked at us. At least I think she winked at us...
20 We're going in again today.
21 It all seems right and normal. The story stands because it is a true story.
22 And the story continues today.
23 Happy Halloween everybody.
24 Raise a glass to Heidi.
25 She did it again.
