If you choose to run out the front door, turn to page 23.

Was there ever anything better than those books? I loved them. In the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, you chose a path, and got to find out what the consequence of your choice was. It was almost a delicious precursor to the choices in role-playing games, and their early computer counterparts.
I found out this week that I have been playing my own version of the Choose Your Own Adventure story, as I try to remove bees from the Vicksburg Auditorium. It has been a steep learning curve, with numerous stops and starts, outright fails, and exhilarating successes (today was a good day, just so you know.)
And so I have decided to chronicle the events like a CYOA book. Each decision point for the Vicksburg Auditorium will be a separate brief blog entry, that shows how it turned out. In the process, you will see what I have learned in the process. And if you manage to install the bees in a new home, then you have won.
And if not, a back button will give you another chance.
Let's get started:
You get a call from the City of Vicksburg, and they have bees in their auditorium, and want your help. Do you:
Pick up the phone and call them back?
or
Decide you'd rather go to the movies?
