It’s a Setup

Claire is having the most exciting life right now — that’s why most of these posts are about what she’s up to. Not that I’m not busy; I’ve been a bit swamped with a variety of client work, from project management for elearning in financial services to information design for a major retailer.
But you want to hear about the birds, don’t you? Claire continues to work at the Texas State Fair, doing whatever she is assigned to for Steve Martin’s group of trainers and handlers. Her latest gig is one that is usually given to interns like herself. She had to sit among the audience pretending to be a show visitor, then volunteer when called upon for one of the show segments. What followed was a bit of stage business with her backing away in mock fear from an oncoming marabou stork, ultimately backing up right into a pond. Let’s just hope someone got that on video.
