New Level, New Editor and Other News

Summer's gone and it's really back to work. My wife just had a 2 day conference for work that was a success, and now she's gearing up for a major event her non-profit is hosting in November. It's her pet project, so she's got a lot of work ahead of her, but last year's was a major success and (though I admit my bias) I know she's going to do a great job.

As for me, work is starting to pick back up after a slow summer. Unfortunately, it's as a result of the recent economic crises. Even more unfortunate is the fact that this whole situation is likely going to get much worse before it gets better.

In lighter news...I got a bunch of submissions in over the last few days, mostly for actors from the "golden ages" of radio and TV. In the midst of all of that, I picked up another person editorship (my 22nd). It's John Dehner, a great character actor who was a frequent villain on TV. In addition, he was a very accomplished radio actor, starring in two of radio's finest western series, Frontier Gentleman and Have Gun, Will Travel. It all bumped me up to Level 36 after I had been idling on 35 for a while.

My wife and I finished watching Season 3 of Weeds and are about to start Season 2 of Heroes through Netflix. We're thinking about trying to get through it in time for the new season on Monday, but we may end up waiting until DVD. It's getting to be a drag to wait a whole week between new episodes!

But one new show has caught our attention - Fringe on FOX. I'm not a JJ Abrams fan, but this is a very slick show reminiscent of X-Files (one of my all-time favorites). If you're looking for a good drama with some sci-fi overtones, I recommend it.

That's about all I've got for now...hope everything is well with everyone else.
