My first blog entry for BOM! I have just passed my one-month anniversary as official Barrel of Monkeys Executive Director. And I have to say that never have I been welcomed into an organization so warmly and funly. Each day, the staff greets me with smiles and copious information. My brain was so full by the end of my first week, I was afraid to say goodbye and wish everyone well on the retreat for fear of information falling out of my brain through my mouth hole. But, I have since gotten a hold on most of the pertinent information, and with the staff and board, have begun work on many many plans.
One of the amazing parts of my job is that I get to go see That’s Weird Grandma frequently! Slowly and surely, I have been meeting Monkeys, and learning so very many names – sometimes multiple names for each Monkey. As if one-per-person wasn’t a challenge enough!
I am so excited to be a part of this company I don’t even know where to start! Even the challenges are fascinating and thrilling. As a third generation teacher, coming to an organization that concentrates on education feels like coming home. I know that art has changed my life, and I have seen it change the lives of others. And, laughing each and every day has to beat an apple a day in the doctor department, so thanks also for improving my health.

Doing “Magical Place” in That’s Weird Grandma is not only hilarious, but an incredible aerobic workout, man. As we speak, I’m just leaving the “beach house” recording two podcasts with Soszko, Rachel and Mary Winn. Hee Haw!!! Can’t wait to hear our wacky and crazy Cowboy Western dialects!!!
