I think its so strange that the pope has to pick a new name when he becomes pope.
I just got my first "official" contract as an Actor’s Equity member and I needed to very that my name was still available: Joe Leary. It was. And it got me thinking about the pope and his magic name change. Doesn’t it seem just a little theatrical? I can’t say that I’m against it. In fact, I wish that it was more common place. What if the president had to do that? And George W Bush had to pick a one-word name to symbolize his presidency?

So…I’m finally getting my equity card. The show is "Farm boys" at the History Theatre in St Paul. I half-wish my first "professional" gig didn’t sound like gay soft-porn. But, life is funny that way. Speaking of…do porn actors have a union? If so, what is it called?

I had a dream last week that Dolly Parton called me to say "Happy Thanksgiving" and that she had seen the photos of our house remodel project and she thought they were just beautiful. "That’s what Thanksgiving is for: gathering together with those you love in a beautiful home. That’s what its all about." I told her thank you and that I was stunned that she called me. I asked her how she got my cell phone number. And she said "That’s what she does sometimes. Call her fans and wish them well."
