First off, berry big thankee to Jon Schweitzer of Morrisville, NC for his script title suggestion: I Never Did Begrudge Jorge. (By the by, a note from Jon regarding his title: "Make sure you pronounce that dang name correctly in your head when you read it. WHORE-HAY." Your wish is our mandate, Jon... Whore-hay it is.) Click and enjoy!

Recently, I've gotten the itch to redesign this website. It works well enough for my purposes, I suppose, but it's far from the handsomest of compositions and, admittedly, I threw it together simply to say I have my own website. I dunno. Anything for a change, I guess.

Let's see... Carey may well have found a job. She was informally told by a local country club yesterday that they'd like to hire her. It's a server position which may not seem thrilling, but they offer full benefits... which is VERY thrilling to us, seeing as how the insurance issue has been one of our big stressers of late. If this works out, she'll begin later this month. We're not uncorking any champagne yet, but it would be nice to have some sort of income beyond my drawin' pitchers and ritin' stories.

And speaking of ritin' stories, spent a very enjoyable day with Ben Bays on Saturday and durn it if we aren't talking seriously about doing another movie together. (Ben directed and produced a feature-length indy over the course of the past couple years. Unfortunately, the title is Blind Justice. I wrote it in college. It stars Hollywood legends James Leagre and Mark Soto.) Ben's itching to do something small set in the American midwest on a shoestring budget with a good script and good actors. We spent the day throwing ideas back and forth and, the more we talked, the more intriguing an X-Files-ish feature became. Who knows. As long as there's a character in it named Jorge, I'm on board.

Calliope, our cat, is sick. Technically, she's still a kitten. We've tried all manner of drugs... and she acts as healthy as a... as a... healthy...cat... but, we're consistently finding blood in the litter box and THAT'S no good. We're not sure what to think. Hopefully our vet (Dr. Sakamoto) will come up with something soon. Something cheap, preferably.
