Life has thrown a<br>Whitworth Crap-Ton of twists and turns at me recently (as opposed to<br>your basic Imperial or Metric crap-tons), and in the pursuit of<br>preserving what little remains of my sanity, I've decided it's time to<br>move on to other adventures.<br><br>I've resigned from the Presidency of my IATSE Local, pulled myself off<br>the Local's crew list, and taken an honorable withdrawal from the<br>Alliance, and am sadly hanging up my stagehand spurs after damn near<br>forty years. I'll eventually be contacting whomever is running the<br>ETCP office these days and requesting Retiree status.<br><br>It's been a dream, folks. Literally the stuff of my most ridiculous<br>High-School Drama Club Nerd dreams. But if I want to live to see my<br>62nd birthday, I need to leave.
