Putting on my long underwear on the 12th.  I’ll be PAing on a film shoot in Troy, NY.  It is an outdoor shoot.  Might be nippy after being outside for 7+ hours.  Looking forward to it.

By the way upstate NY is a great location for a film of any size.  Lots of talented cast & crew with extra equipment as well.

An interesting article.   Seems a little bit like manufacturing the results one needs.  Tsk, tsk!

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. -William Styron, novelist (1925-2006)

It was this way for me when I first read The Lord of the Rings!  Exhausted, been to places new to me, and sad it was over.

I return to Middle-earth once every year or two.

When I travel, I often wonder: Where in Middle-earth am I?

Amtrak is still in the 20th Century.  I was looking into a cross country train trip.  However, Amtrak does NOT support Wi-Fi.  Laptops would be off the net.  They need to deal with this.
