Overdue.



All of my posts seem to be overdue. This was my first official week back in the Bean- yoin'!

It's been good. I drove 696 miles this week. I went to Maine, NH, a quick little drive through Vermont and some good old Mass lovin'.

Friday was a good day. I had two shows at one school in Pelham, NH. A huge school. 950 kids. Pelham's pretty close to Lowell, MA, where I went for lunch. I did that because, suprisingly, the most delicious organic veg restaurant I've ever been to (save Earthfoods) is there. They're finally opening a store in Cambridge, look out for it. It's called "Life Alive" discovered by my lovely friend EL. I like their chairs.





It's pretty crazy to stop and think that about 4000 children sat in a gym, auditorium,multipurpose room or gymcafetorium and listened to me talk about life and yo-yo this week. I hope it helped. I also hope they realize that there's much more to life than yo-ing. But hey, if knowing how to yo-yo can pay you, send you around the world and allow you to mold the minds of children maybe it's not such a bad thing to learn.

A little girl asked for my autograph on Friday. Then she gave me some plastic yellow bungee thing. I don't know what it was, but it was sweet of her. My trainer told me that the kids would think I was a rockstar- I guess maybe I've reached rockstardom.

This also, was my first real work week. For the first time since college, it's a weekend, and I haven't worked. Not because I was sick, or requested it off, or couldn't find work, but because I didn't have to. I didn't know what to do with myself half of the time. So now I sit at one of my all-time favorite cafes, sipping on a Pumpkin Latte. I'm not usually one for stuff in my coffee, but pumpkin is the one exception.


Oh and incase you were wondering, I did whip my yo-yo tricks out at a bar again this week. I think that'll be a common occurrence.
