Surprise!

This afternoon, while playing nurse-monkey to a friend . . . I received a phone call from one of the Phenom's fellow actors. They were hatching up a plan to go on an adventure as a cast and crew. They thought that perhaps I should be the monkey to approach the Phenom with the idea. (The Phenom, being the senior member of the company tends to intimidate the younger actors.)

I called the Phenom and tried my best at manipulation. The Phenom acted very hedgy and said we'd have to talk about when I got home.

When I got home, I was led to the computer and shown a confirmation . . . for round trip airfare and several nights hotel stay IN THE FRENCH QUARTER!!!!!! Whooo HOOOOO! Two trips to the big easy in one year! Drinks for everyone!!! So, in a months time, I shall be kickin' back, slurping up, and generally making a fool of myself . . . and it will be grand.

I just love that Phenom . . . and obviously the Phenom knows the way to my cold little monkey heart.
