It's storytime with crazy Unkie Shawn.
Let's see, which book? Which book... ahh, here it is. I'm going to tell you all the story about Unkie Shawn and the Slides.
Once upon a time, Unkie Shawn went to a Physical Theatre Academy. He was 22 then, and his Mother had sadly passed away only a year before. Now, Unkie Shawn wanted to do something real special, so he put together a short play for his family and his mom's friends to see him perform at the Physical Theatre Academy.
He wanted to make it something everyone would remember, so he included everything: Special lights, special sound, and even special slides projected at special moments. He also played every character in the little play; Even Rod Phillips, voice of the Edmonton Oilers!
His play was enjoyed, and the audience clapped and cheered. Unkie Shawn was soooo excited, he forgot all about his slides! The irreplaceable pictures of his Mother!
Well, a lot of time had passed before he thought about them again... Silly Unkie Shawn has a widdle biddy brain that is not known for it's memory capacity. In fact, if he had a memory card slot, it might be an awfully good idea to slide in an upgrade once and a while. Regardless, he tried and he tried and he tried to figure out where those slides went... and all of a sudden, one day, when Unkie Shawn was drinking his "Special Juice" at O'Connor's Irish Pub, along came an old friend of his, saying he had found the slides!
Well, on Sunday, Unkie Shawn got his slides back, but they were all askew and scattered, mixed and mismatched in an old box. He tried and he tried and he tried to organize them, but he's still not sure if they're all there. But the important thing is:
He got most of his memories back.

There's a play in there somewhere. All that looking for stuff. Of course in the play you would have to discover that the memories were in your head or heart or perhaps stomach, and not in a box. But there's still a play in there.
