Sorry Everybody

This is great. Click on the gallery.

Some of us -- hopefully most of us -- are trying to understand and appreciate the effect our recent election will have on you, the citizens of the rest of the world. As our so-called leaders redouble their efforts to screw you over, please remember that some of us -- hopefully most of us -- are truly, truly sorry. And we'll say we're sorry, even on the behalf of the ones who aren't.

Snow business

This is what it looked like at my house when I returned from my meeting today.

I love my clients. This business, media production, attracts the best people to work with. Here's a snapshot of the conversation in a client meeting today (the project manager is the guy I work for, from the media production company; the corporate client hires the production house):

Client:  (to me) You live somewhere out West, right?

Me:  Um, well, west of route 495! It’s out the Mass. Pike, in Grafton.

Project mgr:  They let her out sometimes with the metal ankle bracelet.

Client:  looks puzzled

Me:  Oh, like Martha Stewart, when they let her out of prison?

Project mgr:  Right, Martha!

[brief discussion of Martha and her cell-block Christmas decorations]

Project mgr:  What do you call those bracelets, when you’re under house arrest?

Me:  It’s like a GPS system…

Project mgr:  But there’s a name for it.  Like LoJack!

Me:  Except when it’s on a person it’s called Whoa-Jack.

Project mgr:  cracks up

Client:  shakes his head

Project mgr:  Okay, where were we?

When there's enough work, it's a great way to make a living.
