Hi Friends,
I just spent the last few hours looking through my photo library. I’ve selected 20 that are my favorites from this year. Most involve in some way or another baseball, the outdoors, coffee, and big cities. Makes perfect sense, eh!?
Follow the link to check them out. Enjoy!!
It’s been so long since I’ve written in this darn thing. There is just too much to write about, so it’s time for a list. Lists = Love.
End of August
• Finished up my job as an assistant Post-Coordinator with NBC’s The Great American Road Trip
• Overall, I felt the show’s concept was good and it has room to grow. Don’t know if it will get picked up for another season.
• My coworkers were amazing. I really enjoyed spending time with them. I love being around talented, hard-working, and overall fun people.
• I blew out the tire on my car. It cost about $200 to get new tires, but I was feeling so good I didn’t even care.
• In my spare time, I rode my new bicycle as often as possible.
• Then the fires came and I couldn’t go outside because I couldn’t breathe the air.
• I’m not kidding. I would wake up and step outside my apartment and it smelled like campfire.
• I attended a concert at The Wiltern. It was amazing. The National are an incredible band.
September
• Had about a week of to chill. Wanted to ride my bike but the smoke from the fires ruined that plan.
• Started working on my next TV Show.
• Had to inventory and pack up about 4000 tapes from previous seasons and throw them in storage.
• Drove to Utah/Arizona with three people I didn’t know.
• Camped in the desert with no running water or bathrooms.
• Saw the most stars I have ever seen in my life.
• Hiked three miles in the desert to find “The Wave”
• Also saw the Horseshoe Bend and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
• Came back to LA and counted down the days until NYC.
• Left for NYC.
• Arrived in NYC.
• Set up our post-production office.
October
• First 5 nights in NYC – arrived / Yankees Game / Bayside Show / Mets game / Nabe Housewarming party
• Worked hard on location and played just as hard at night
• Caught up with old friends
• My parents and brother came to visit
• My brother and I went to game two of the ALCS at Yankee Stadium
• The game lasted over five hours and was freezing. The Yankees won. (!)
• I became totally engulfed in the MLB playoff season.
• Spent time with one of my best friends from high school.
• Enjoyed a delicious beer sampler at the Heartland Brewery.
• Missed game one of the World Series for a small small show with Gregory Alan Isakov.
• The show was bomb; the Yankees got bombed. Glad I went to the show.
• Watched the Yankees beat Pedro for game 2. (Ah, the memories)
• Watched Andy Pettitte throw a gutty performance to win game 3.
• Had to work on Halloween night for the second straight year.
• Which made this my third miserable Halloween in a row.
• Halloween is my favorite holiday.
November
• Went to the Prospect Park Zoo to visit with the aminals.
• Watched Johnny Damon steal two bases on one pitch to pretty much win game 4.
• Seriously. How amazing was that? One of the greatest plays I have ever seen…
• Went to a bar, drank a lot, and celebrated the Yankees’ 27th World Series Championship.
• Had a rough day at work the following day…
• Rented a bicycle and rode the circumference of lower Manhattan.
• And then the perimeter of Central Park.
• Had a delicious meal in Little Italy. Was accompanied by some really great people.
Which brings me to today. Nothing else too exciting going on. Less than a week left here in NYC. There’s a lot I want to do, but I’m also getting tired and ready to return to LA. Oh, and I have spent a lot of money. This place is expensive!
I can’t believe it’s mid-November already. I’m going to start working on a year-end music review. It’s been a really great year for music; it’ll be tough to determine my favorites!
