Filming Documentary, and off to Chicago on Scholarship

Latest news is that I got a scholarship to go to the Second City intensive training in Chicago. It's been about 21 years since I've been in Chicago, and am looking forward to my return. Second City is famous for the lineup of comedic stars that it has produced: John Belushi, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Tina Fey, Mike Meyers, Rachael Dresch, I could go on and on. And now me. I am attending for improv instruction and comedy writing. getting a scholarship was just icing on the cake. (also now I'll have money to eat and stuff - a bonus)

Our production company is also coming back to town to film us and produce a documentary which will be coming to the small screen in your living room. It's going to be a tool to spark interest in our reality show, which is still being shopped around the networks.

In other news, I am completing the 'how to start and run a paranormal investigation group' book. It started out as the handbook for Pennsylvania Paranormal, but is morphing into this other thing, which will be for sale within the month, hopefully.

I also just got back from a Navy Convention in Norfolk VA, part of my 'regular' job. Some of it was boring, but other things were of interest. Navy Crane Center put it on, and it was mostly about safety and crane application and construction. I've been running and teaching cranes for about 30 years now. God, that's a long time.

About all for now. Youngest daughter graduates in a few weeks, youngest son just turned 16 and is looking to get his driver's permit. Yikes.
