What a Friday!

WGN-TV Morning News visited Penny’s school to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week and the kids really shined all morning long!

It’s been a great morning watching my daughter Penny Pants take the spotlight as the official student liaison for the WGN Morning News Around Town visit to her school today.

Here’s some quick highlights from the WGN broadcast!

This weekend, a mom at a party asked for my business card. She looked at my card and replied,

“Wow, you’ve been doing this a long time!”

She meant to be complimentary, but what it really meant was I was overdue for a business card refresh.

Thanks to for always delivering excellent, ready to use photography, helping me recreate one of my favorite photos for the 2026 Smarty Pants edition.

Earlier this week I sat down with Dave Brenn to talk about my Wednesday Master Class at Twist and Shout coming up on Feb 25.

“Let’s Get Serious - Let’s Get Silly!”

If you’d like to make the jump from a balloon twister to a balloon entertainer, if you’ve ever thought about creating a show, or just want to get more confident performing at gigs, this is the class for you!
