Editing Begins Today
Well, after completing (hopefully) all of the footage for the first episode of Life on Main Street, Chris and I are going to start editing today. We’ve got around 2 hours of total footage to work with in order to get a single half-hour episode finished. Once we’ve finished the first episode and we see…

Survivor
Well, the new season of Survivor has started, which means that Kristen and I now spend Thursday nights at someone’s house that has cable. This season is different in that it takes contestants from previous seasons and puts them all together into what they call Survivor: All Stars. So far it’s wonderful. We’ve also been…

All sorts of stuff…
I haven’t written in a while and that’s because I’ve been very busy. I’m going to attempt to update everyone on what’s been going on. The first thing worth noting is that Chris and I finished our last interview for our first episode of Life on Main Street. We’re waiting on a few items so…

What a cold day…
I walked outside this morning into the blistering cold, which reminded me why I want to move to Arizona soon… I cannot stand the painful cold that Winter brings to Indiana every once in a while. We’ve continued to have snow and rain for the past few days and I’m not sure when it’s supposed…

A reading phase again…
I’ve been reading my butt off lately. I usually go through phases when it comes to reading. I read lots of technical stuff all of the time, but I very seldom start and finish a full book. I just finished reading Decration, which is one of the Left Behind books. It was very good. I…

Playing Guitar
I’ve been playing guitar a lot lately, and I have to say that I’m excited about how I’ve improved even though I haven’t been playing very much over the last few years. When I was in high school I had chops. I could learn about any song by any band unless it was Steve Vai…

Long weekends
Man do I love long weekends. I spent yesterday relaxing around the house and catching up on some reading. I’m up through book 8 of 12 of the Left Behind series. It’s been a wonderful series and despite most people’s wining about them adding two additional books to the series just to make a buck,…

Going in!
It’s about 8:00a.m. and I’m getting ready to go into the office to do some work for Life on Main Street. Chris and I have to get ourselves ready for our shoot later this morning. Afterwords we’re going to a workshop a WCTV ( a local public access television company ) and learning more about…
Got any book recommendations?
