You Want Talent? I Got A Stick With Plenty of Talent

Can you tell that's a ticket for America's Got Talent? See Sharon. And Piers.

Yep, the whole crowd came to the ATL to tape a show in April. And me and Cathy-on-a-Stick were there, whooping it up! You'll probably see me on TV, come this summer. But you won't see Cathy-on-a-Stick. Because Holy Howie Mandel!

That AGT crew was not putting up with any foolishness. Which makes me wonder why we just don't send those guys to our middle schools for a couple days.

Yeah, that trunk was full of cool writer-ly stuff. But you know Cathy-on-a-Stick. It's not wicked cool till a pic drops in for a mug shot.

(Was that really bad? Or so bad that it was good? Please use the sandwich method if you'd like to critique.)

Wheee! Alliteration! (Okay, A Tongue Twister)

(She skipped the swing set. That's just being ridiculous.)

Bopping Around in Bethlehem

The week before Christmas is a jolly time to dash over to Bethlehem. Cathy-on-a-Stick joined me to help send out cards. Honestly, she wasn't much help. She's lucky she didn't get mailed herself.

And then I had to stop so she could take a closer look at this upcoming event.

Guess I'll be heading back to Bethlehem.

Mi Birthday Es Su Birthday

So the pics-on-sticks gathered around the birthday laptop to celebrate, thanks to the Beneficent Mr. Hall. I guess it's true. Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes, you don't. (Don't Even Ask Cathy-on-a-Stick couldn't make it. I'm not sure why. But there's a good reason why she's called Don't Even Ask Cathy-on-a-Stick.)

Psychic Opporstickities

I just had a feeling that Chip Coffey, psychic and medium, would be an interesting show. So I brought Cathy-on-a-Stick along, hoping to get some kind of psychic reading. To wit:

Would she ever find the Stick Guy of her dreams?

Were there any little toothpicks in her future?

What about lucrative job opporstickities?

Cathy-on-a-Stick didn't get any answers yet. But I'm seeing something...hold on, it's getting clearer. Ah, there it is. Cathy-on-a-Stick Coffey Stirrers.

Pardon Me Boys! Is This the Cathy-on-a-Stick Choo-Choo?

She was very well-behaved on her train ride. She sat demurely in her seat.


She charmed Ed, our train car attendant. (Who said she was very pretty. Oh, Ed, flattery will get you...)


To the Georgia/Tennessee line.





Pardon me, boys. She came down the line. Now she'll wash up and smell fine.
