Being first up is like getting ready to go out on the stage. I never know just when my cue will be. The wait for the doorman to wave me in. It--it could come at any minute or seem never coming. I dare not close my eyes. Have to look alert; have to be ready!
Will the other actor, the customer, be a man or a woman?
The script this morning called for two men and two women. The props included: four large bags, a box and a number of smaller pieces. Their line: "To the airport!"
At the airport: Check the meter ($13.25) Unload the luggage, as the customers look for their marks on the sidewalk. Take folded money. My line: "Thank you."
As driving away: Unfold money and count. My next line: "Oh! $14.00! What? They didn't ask for the quarters!"
Note: The Prop Department needs to give the cast more spending cash.

I got my first computer early in the Summer of 2004, and began blogging almost immediately. Thanks to blogging I have been a part of several newspapers and online blogs. By that August I was featured in the lead story of the Tech Section in the San José Mercury News. Then what a pleasant surprise it was to find that my blog, "Taxi Vignettes" was the reason I was chosen as the best local blogger of the year (2006) by the Metro Newspaper. Fall of '06, I was contacted by a reporter, asking if I would be willing to be the topic of her next story in The Willow Glen Resident. It was a cool two pages including photos. Am I having fun yet?
