Every day is a job interview.

Our gig today was a birthday party for a 41 YO living in a developmentally disabled colony house. It was a joy winning them over and watching the staff crack up at the clients cracking up. "He/She never laughs like that" is something we hear a lot. I love that we somehow have keys that work on some folks mental doors. At least for a little while. Before we started the company asked us an odd question "What are you gonna do?" We didn't know what to tell them. Olive just said we will bring joy for the whole hour." They wanted very specific specifics (like a responsible business would.) Personalized song,, some clown antics, music and balloons then a game. They sent us a dossier of the birthday client so we could write a song for her. It went over great. We had them all howling, it was very rewarding. They were adorable and had us cracking up too. It was great to get out of doors and traipse around the Oregon for a bit.

Telling Olive's Cat about my day. She is so enthralled.
