Time again for the annual Ohio Association of Elementary School Principal’s conference!
They say the only two things you can count on in life are death and taxes. Well, there is one more, at least. Prices continue to rise year after year for almost everything. No where has this been more true in recent years than in the world of road warrior school assembly performers.
Everyone loves to save a buck or two, right? (Except for that baby on that annoying Jimmy Fallon commercial.)
I don’t know if you are like me or not, but I have come to absolutely love an occasional cup of coffee from Starbucks or one of the multitude of competing coffee purveyors that have sprung up just about everywhere in the last decade. Judging by the success of these little boutique beverage joints, I am not in any way alone. Seems like you can throw a stick these days and hit three or four caffeine concoctors without even trying.
About a million years ago, when I was a kid, I heard a song on the radio. I liked it immediately and so I made my Mom buy me a copy on a 45 (that alone betrays my ancient condition, right?).
As a national company devoted to bringing high quality educational school assemblies to schools pretty much all over the country, our performers naturally spend a lot of solitary nights on the road. It can be a lonely life. Sometimes, in a twenty four hour period, a performer may speak to only hotel clerks and waitresses outside of school hours. So when it happens that they are in a location where they have friends it is always a bonus. And when two or more of our school show performers find out they are in the same place at the same time they always like to get together for a meal and some good conversations, trading humorous “war stories”.
Wow! I just read an article I found fascinating! In China they are working on a chemical treatment for clothing. Why is that interesting? Because this treatment would allow clothing to be “cleaned” by simply hanging in the sun. Cool, huh?
Just a quick one today to show you a new video from a recent performance by one of our Mark Twain tours which visited Dearborn, Michigan last month.
