About me:
Here I am with Dale Mason and Matt Ratz (I'm wearing the pork pie hat) during our scene together in MacBeth in February 2007. This is from Act 4, Scene 3, MacBeth [Noir] Adapted and directed by Dennis Rendleman, a Springfield Theater Center Production.
Below is the same scene from a British production where Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious) plays the part I played, Ross (Our version was edited a lot for time and the same dialogue starts at 2:15 minutes into the clip):

We would love your submissions for features!
Just message me . . .
Below is a photo I took of my painting of Lincoln in the window of Andiamo! in historic downtown Springfield. Note the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office and Old State Capitol in the reflection. Here's a link to the actual 3'X4' painting. I ended up painting out the letters at the bottom because people complained about them so much. You can see the painting on display at Phil's Lounge, across from the Vinegar Hill Mall where the Loft and Baur's used to be, upstairs.
I am also a 2nd Degree Reiki Practitioner and my Master is Gloria Ferguson.
Who I'd like to meet:
Creative people who would like to have their experiments promoted. I play music on my radio shows and I try to focus on experimental/unusual material. I usually only play music on CDs that is either .cda, .wav, or .aif formats, so it will have to be sent to P.O.B. 1233, Springfield, IL 62705-1233.

Description
The author was inspired by observing butterflies to develop a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and within a relatively short time. He designed Tai Chi movements that naturally enhance the Qi flow in the order directed by Chinese medicine and whilst it can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, its real power is in preventing illness. Succinct and effective the reader can learn this form of Tai Chi within a day and can be performed anywhere -no matter how little space available.
