Scene One Welcome back my Friends to the Show that Never Ends
Let us go then, you and I
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats with forgotten contractors
Tearing their worthless unsigned Tearstained Timesheets
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
So I know its been a wee while - now then - where was I - oh yes !
I think back in the winter snow of 2012 - yes that's about right - I was out of luck and out of contract alone in a perishing cold hovel by the sea in Noordwijk Netherlands - just completed a three year contract with the European Space Agency (ESTEC) via Contracting Company X - it was the best of times and the worst of times ..
Now - where to begin ?
The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. “Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?” he asked.
“Begin at the beginning,” the King said very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”
And you know what - I think best to do what the King said .... hold on a wee minute - hmm new teeth - that's weird !!!
