New year

The new year is starting out so wonderfully, it's scary. Well, the weather sucks, so it's not perfect, but on the other hand the weather is great compared to what it is back east.

I guess I'll always be a Pasadena boy in terms of weather comfort. I like my winters to have lows of 55.

Eager to work on the new lyrics I wrote during office hours.

Heard back from the artistic director in Tampa, who had some basic questions about the form. He is definitely interested and his last words were, "I'll be in touch." Now if this came from Hollywood, as it has in the past, I'd kiss it off and never expect to hear from the guy again, but in general theater types are more honest than movie types, or such has been my experience, and so I won't be surprised if I hear back from him. And disappointed if I don't.

The hyperdrama has been online for 8 years now and this is the first time anyone inquired about actually producing it, though it's gained a few fans along the way who have read it. But it's a beast to do, as any hyperdrama is. But, man, do a decent production, and something like this could put a theater company on the map. I hope he goes for it. Duh.

Saw the last quarter of the championship game and was impressed that Texas got back into the game with a freshman QB in for the injured McCoy. But then everything fell apart at the end. The game I saw was closer than the score.
