Let’s see. I finished up the last of the front elevations for Arabian Nights set today. Worked on the boat and did a tiny bit of gardening. It also looks like I’ve picked up two gigs for 2007. Nothing like planning ahead, eh? One is a directing gig in Canada and the other is a […]

We did the six bridge pedal today. Actually, it was the bridge pedal, stop and walk and then stop again. On some of the bridges the crowds were so thick that it was not possible to stay on the bicycle, we had to get off and walk. But the views were fantastic. Apparently somewhere in
I’ve just been working the last couple of days. Nothing really exciting to report. Tomorrow, Rob and I are going on the Providence Bridge Pedal. Wish us luck.
Rob and I went to Laurelhurst Park for an open air screening of Casablanca. We packed a picnic dinner and listened to our friend Mick Doherty and his group the Cascadia String Quartet, as they played before the movie. Lovely evening.
I’m very excited. I just got my first email from Susan Groppi for All Star Stories: Twenty Epics. Although this is my fourth sale the first three were all to the same magazine and there was no editorial process. I turned it in, they paid me and printed it. This looks like it will have

Good heavens! What’s that? I didn’t work today. No boat, no computer (though I should have) no design. Just me, a book, and a little bit of writing. Rob and I slept in. Lovely day.
Other Hand’s site is up and running. WRW’s is up except for the forum, but I have to rebuild the database for that and it takes longer. I spent the day uploading files and writing while I waited. Then I went to the boat and worked. I let one of my co-workers read the draft

I thought all my old weblog entries were gone, but Blogger saved them. A lot of the older photos aren’t going to show because I haven’t reloaded the photos to the web, but Blogger saved all the html. I’m impressed with that.

On Friday, lightning struck the server that hosts my website and email. Their surge protectors failed and my site went up in smoke. It finally came back up, and I’m reloading things, but I don’t know how long it will take. Some things will just be lost. Unfortunately, Willamette Radio Workshop’s site was on the

Our friend Sam Paden came in from New York. He’s got a show up at Brian Marki Gallery, which is very exciting. He brought with him the catalogue to the Chanel exhibit at the Met. Rob really wanted to go to it, but couldn’t make it. I tried to go while I was there, but

Sorry, the last couple of days I worked on the boat, read and wrote. Rob came home from IPNC, which is wonderful, but due to our schedules, we still didn’t see much of each other yesterday. Tonight we went out to dinner. A date night is always a good thing.
What can I tell you? Read More »
The show went off successfully. Everyone “loved it,” which is proof-positive that you can’t trust an audience member to tell you if something is good. This was not. I’m not talking about professional-quality, which I wasn’t expecting by any stretch, I’m just talking about in the realm of summer camp shows. The script sucked and
Well, they managed to do two run-throughs of the show without any disasters. After that, I worked a very long wedding shift on the Willamette Star. I’m beat.
Finally. I finished writing Body Language at 2:00 a.m. I spent every spare moment today editing it and I’ve just posted it for critique. We’ll see what folks say. Meanwhile, back at the camp, my kids–the good ones–really focused today and finished the set. I really didn’t think it was going to happen this time.

I tried my plan for dealing with Mr. Uh-uh at camp today, and it worked. I gave him a model of the fire I needed built and told him to make a large version. When he got bored with that, I also assigned him to draw the plan of the jail, and that I’d get
