Saturday September 11th, 2010 - Milwaukee, WI The eagle has landed. When I got home late last night I noticed my luggage had arrived after having gone on a whirlwind tour even bigger than the one I’ve been on lately. It had been delivered earlier that day apparently, and looked to be beaten and abused. There was no apology from the airline for losing it or number to call to go after any reimbursements. I had to purchase backup clothes to make sure I was covered for my shows on the ship, but I guess that’s going to have to come out of my pocket. I tried to explain to the person I talked to on the phone that it wasn’t my fault they’d lost my bag, but she vehemently said in no way were they responsible for any reimbursement and refused to discuss it further. I was only asking for $30, but her attitude turned sour in a hurry. The old me probably would have lit into her and carved her up verbally, but what does that prove? She works a dead end job tracking luggage for an airport so how happy could she be anyway? I have a chance to live my dreams in the long run. This will pass. She’s stuck tracking lost bags. It’s all a matter of choices. That’s what life is. That’s nothing new, but it’s sure making itself clear to me after a lot of years of stupidly hoping everything would just work out by itself. No way. I’m finally starting to take charge of my life and make some good choices. It’s taking longer than I expected, but at least I’m seeing results. I’m starting to get back what I want, only because I’ve chosen to receive exactly that. The Law Of Attraction does work, and I could kick myself for waiting this long to start using it to make my life better. Maybe I needed to learn some lessons first. If so, I’ve sure done that and then some. I’m a lot more confident now than I’ve ever been because I’ve been around the block and seen how the world works. It’s taken a lot of prep time, but I feel like I’m ready to get started. This afternoon my friend Don Schmitt asked if I would perform for his Anniversary get together at his home in Hubertus. He and his wife Marie are sweet people and it was very flattering to be asked. They put a big party together and wanted to have entertainment for the guests. They hired me, magician Glen Gerard and mentalist Rex Sykes. It was a blast. It’s fun to perform for people who enjoy entertainment. I was in town anyway working at Potawatomi Casino, and that was fun too. I had a lot of people come out I didn’t expect and that’s always a pleasant surprise. I even had some cousins come out to show support. There aren’t many in my family I’m close to, but these people are great. My grandfather and their father were brothers, so I think that makes us second cousins. No matter, they’ve come out before but it’s been a while. It was a really fun night and a good vibe prevailed. This is really what true success is. Whatever psychological baggage I may have doesn’t mean a thing. These people tonight all think I’m a big star, and they laughed as hard as an audience could. What’s wrong with that? I have both my luggage and my groove back.
