Since every time I dip below 2 posts per day for longer than a week, somebody wonders where I've disappeared to, I've decided to give you all the heads up on this one so that when you hear the inevitable question arise from someone who hasn't seen this thread, you will be able to answer in my absence or at least point them here.

I'm going to be out of town on business for a few weeks starting Sunday. I've been contracted (and catch this, this is rich) by Project X Theatre to perform in their summer X-Fest in the park up in Kamloops. What are the chances? Anyhow, they all seem like real nice folks so I predict a great time working hard to please audiences nightly in A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (abridged). As a result of living out of town I cannot guarantee regular access to internet and at the least, as a result of rehearsing hard throughout the month of July, I won't have much free time. The upshot is that you're unlikely to catch me around here for a bit. I'm sure you'll all do fine without me. If y'all get bored feel free to fill in with an annoying quip from time to time in my absence.

I'll definitely be taking my W&B sway back with me and because I'm going to be gone for so long, I've decided to take my Illinois 361 strop for daily use. If the SRP Menthol Tobacco AS Balm arrives before Validator comes to join me with Little Man, I'll get her to bring that along too, but other than that, I've still got to decide what else to bring along. I'm light infantry trained so I never want to carry anything unnecessary, but I also believe in being prepared so I don't want to leave myself short handed either. I've got a few more days to work it out.
