PUPPET JUNCTION
Now, I've done something unexpected. I've sunk my savings not into music or into a house but into starting a professional puppet company, named "Puppet Junction". Little known to people is my great love of puppets. I sat in with puppeteers in New York, at benefits at Dowling College, and entertained children in libraries and at parties for my own enjoyment. Now I will have a whole slew of professional quality puppets I can use for a paycheck-from fuzzy moppets to a 28" George "dubya" Bush, from a bearded biker to a cowboy/cowgirl couple and their plush puppet horse. And I will still have time to write freelance and for Funusual. Now that Lynett's new single is finally finished-and let me assure you with all of her almost inconcievable talent this young woman is destined to be a household name-my work as her publicist is only beginning.

I hadn't intended to tell Michael about my new venture, lest he laugh and think me foolish, but his mother let the cat out of the bag and he called me, surprisingly excited.
"I told you a long time ago you should do that!", he exclaimed. "You're great with puppets! You won't even need a script. You're funny just playing with people-adults too." I about asked him who he was and what he'd done to my husband. He is so impressed that he offered to design a proper website for me-which will be an improvement on the existing one whose url you find on my home page.
"Really?" I responded. "Cool!" We talked and laughed for a good hour.... and it was such a pleasant conversation we both sighed what a shame it is that it didn't work out for us.... When it goes right it is so incredibly right it leaves us giddy.... Gosh, how I miss that all too rare joy.... I daresay he sounded like he does too.... I think, rather than causing him to lose respect for me for daring to do this, it's renewed his respect for me. "I decided I want to do something fun", I explained. "I could be dead tomorrow and I don't want to be miserable for the rest of my life. Since you left, I have been so depressed. I find that I can endure, have a life without you." He heard me excited, trying something new and I suppose that makes me more appealing. Though spending that much on a risky idea made me nervous, the night I ordered the puppets (along with some new clothes and a few video games) I enjoyed the best sleep I'd had in months, uninterrupted by the nightmares and I awakened feeling very happy and positive about life for a change.
Look out world! The puppet lady is coming!
(It's not exactly professional music but it's wildly fun-a great way to destress and express myself creatively. And, Is there anything more intoxicating than the sound of human laughter?)
