I wish I had something to say...

...about anything. I know I have been seriously remiss in visiting blogs that I like. In fact, my blogroll is quite a mess, needs better organization. The job is winding down. Next week the company leaves for Rome. No, I won't be going with them, sigh. We have to disassemble the set and pack it for storage, standard operating procedure on Disney jobs. Half of our crew has already left to begin the new season of "Lipstick Jungle". This was, on the whole, a great job with great people, very enjoyable. What's next? Who knows. A lot depends on the Screen Actors Guild and whether or not they go on strike. You have to like looking for work to survive in this business. There is still a lot of TV work going on. Television shouldn't be affected by SAG's actions. That's another union, AFTRA, who represents TV and Radio artists. In fact, I've had a couple of job offers already, but I'm going to stick with the guys I'm with and see what happens, rather than jump ship. So, keep your eye out for "When In Rome". It's going to be a good one.

I have been checking on my fellow members of the API and there is a lot of good stuff going on at their blogs, not all of it political. I suggest you check them out. They are listed under Fellow Scholars in the sidebar. The new website for the API is also up and has a lot of good stuff. Just click on The American Patriot Institute link in the sidebar.

Ok, folks, I'm beat. Tomorrow morning I have to replace my hot water heater. My buddy Indy is coming over to give me a hand installing the new one, but I still have a lot of prep to do before that can happen. There's a funny story here, but I'm too dam tired to write it all down, maybe later.

Anyway. Just a little update. Love each other.

Good night.
