Soggy

Somehow, I’ve lost a day. I’m blaming it on the rain…it seems that everyone here in the northeast is suffering from a serious case of swamp-brain.

Here in the Hudson Valley, it’s appoximately 56 degrees….and with a stiff breeze, it feels more like 51. It is very hard to believe that July 4th is just a few weeks away.

I’m happy to report that my IV, Clinton Kelly, has completed the first half of his 15-city tour with MakeOverAmerica and is now happily back to having a mere 538 balls in the air, instead of the usual 539. I thought I’d take advantage in this lull in his schedule to check in on how things have been going:

Kathryn: (All business, wearing pencil skirt, stilettos and glasses perched on the end of her nose) “Mr. Kelly. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us today. We’re all very interested to hear your thoughts on the trend of the retail industry’s decline in sales due to consumer trepidation and the potential long-term economic effects of those in the production of apparel and the future of the fashion trade.”

Clinton Kelly: (Confused) “Wait. What? Why are you wearing glasses? You don’t wear glasses. Consumer trepidation? Long-term economic effects? Are you kidding me? I’m freakin’ exhausted. I have an 8am shoot tomorrow. You've got ten minutes. Go.”

K: “Fine. Have you ever regretted not getting that final credit in Environmental Geoscience at Boston College? You could’ve been dealing with rocks all day instead of fashion, ya know.”

CK: “Yes.”

K: “Yes? Yes, what? Yes, you regret not going into the science of rocks? Seriously?”

CK: “Hm? Sorry…I fell asleep for a minute there. What was the question?”

K: “Aw. Well, now you’re just making me feel bad. Ya want a drink? On the rocks? Get it?”

CK: “Gee, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard that joke. If I say yes, can I go back to sleep?”

K: “Only if you promise not to get too ‘stoned’. Get it?”

Hello? Where’d he go??
