The Freedom to Dance

 


Some of my neighbors probably enjoyed the free show, but for the ones that didn't see the event, I posted a sign.  I am sure it's not beyond their reasoning to think that I was just too lazy to finish mowing.

I am not the type of person that dances very often, but I did the other day.  I was mowing my lawn, and apparently there was a hornets nest somewhere in the general area of where I was mowing.  So, in a matter of seconds, I am covered in hornets, and there I am in the front yard of my house, violently flailing my arms and legs into a desperate attempt to free myself from these little yellow soldiers.  As I headed toward the breezeway, for refuge, I still heard a buzzing sound, so I shook my shirt, shorts, and hat, but then felt movement from inside my shoe.  I then kicked off my shoes (all still outside of my house) and ran into the breezeway.  So, I sit in my breezeway, looking at my lawn (which is half cut ), thinking 'the next time one of the little neighborhood kids offers to mow my lawn, perhaps I won't be so quick to dismiss him.'
 
I don't know where the hornets came from, but I know where they aren't at.....that is where I sit, in my room, with the door locked.

Actually, all of this happened the morning of my Stand-Up act last year (2005).  So, as I was up there on stage, I actually had about 20 swollen bumps all over my body.
