The wife and I along with Willis and Gulay flew down to Texas a week and a half ago to surprise my mother-in-law on her 60th birthday. Code Moose, as the operation was called, was […]


The matzoh ball has landed

Published on August 16, 2006

Well, I didn’t get the part. I received an email from Marsha, the Artistic Director, about a half hour ago. She said she really liked my audition but decided to go in a different direction. I am feeling a mixture of dissapointment and relief. Dissapointment because I really, really wanted to do that show. It […]

What is a nickname?  More importantly, when should you use a nickname when talking about a baseball team? thefreedictionary.com has two definitions for nickname:
1.  A descriptive name added to or replacing the actual name of a person, place, or thing.
2.  A familiar or shortened form of a proper name.

Still hanging

Ok, Tara never got back to me. So the situation I was trying to avoid, spending the weekend wondering, is exactly what I’m going through now. On the positive side, if Tara was in the office on Friday and the calls had already gone out and the show was completely cast I feel […]

Waiting…

Published on August 9, 2006

Here I am again, waiting for the Human Race to call.  It’s been two weeks since I auditioned for Moonlight and Magnolias.  It went really well.  Marsha said I set the bar very high for the rest of the auditioners and that I did a marvelous job.  Now, will that transfer into an acting job?  […]


I can see

Published on August 8, 2006

Bought a new monitor.  It’s nice.  We went from a 17 inch CRT to a 17 inch LCD.  There’s a lot more room on our desk and $170 less in our bank account.  The wife also demanded we get the 3-year service plan at Best Buy.  Probably a good idea.  Although I have heard nightmares […]
