What a difference half a year makes!

The Carnival Miracle has forever changed my life for the better. I now have a job that has a future. I just received six months of solid work in a high tech theatre. I have friends throughout the world and I have countless stories to go with the many places I have been to. This has been an amazing six months for me and I look forward to working with many of you in the future. For those that I don't see again, good luck and God bless. Here are some photos of my favorite people, places and events from this contract on the Miracle.
