I was the only one in the office today. Because of the busy weekend of performances and the holiday, Cindy and I decided it would be a good idea to let Ethan and Keith have the day away from work (and Wayne rarely works in the office anymore). Cindy had lots of appointments today so that left me alone, all by myself in the office.
I’m not complaining! The phones were very quiet – only two calls all day. And my email was down to less than 30 in my inbox. The quiet was a bit unnerving at first but it didn’t take long for me to set my focus on completing a few projects.
I confirmed a radio interview for our show next weekend in Hopkinsville, KY at the Alhambra Theatre. I did an interview with the Kentucky New Era newspaper, also for that show in Hopkinsville, that should run on Friday of this week. I also managed to confirm the details of a workshop that I’ll be conducting there for a group of Behavioral Therapists on how to use simple magic tricks in their practice. Hopkinsville is coming along nicely!
I’m all set to appear on THE MORNING SHOW on WDAF Fox 4 in Kansas City on September 18. And the producer of GOOD DAY ATLANTA confirmed my guest appearance on WAGA Fox 5 on September 25.
I was able to finish up the text, graphics, and pictures for our September e-newsletters. Keith will get them finalized and ready to go once he gets back in on Wednesday. And I finished up the design of information that provides details for the Healing of Magic outreach programs that we offer – even got it printed!
But one of my most exciting projects is the HOCUS FOCUS curriculum that I’ve been working on. I’ve been getting some great feedback from therapists and educators on this project. They are all very excited – and that only ramps up my enthusiasm for this project even more. I’ve begun to select the assessment tools, with the assistance of one of the leader’s in the special education movement, that teachers and psychologists can apply to gather data. And I’ve almost completed the selection of magic tricks that will be taught in this 9 week program. There is still a lot of work to do, but I’m confident this is going to be something that will be of huge benefit to kids all over the country.
I’m tired. I’m going to watch a little of the Republican National Convention….
