what a difference…

…a year makes.

So, it’s been well over a year since I’ve posted anything new to this website. I promise it’s not because of a lack of anything to say. It’s just been that kind of year. Still, I’m again inspired by Sarah who seems to always take the time to post to her blog (which runs on the same software as mine) and always has something witty and clever to say.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • we finally bought a place
  • we moved again (obviously)
  • Ian was diagnosed with speech delay and it’s not covered by our insurance unless he’s recovering from a stroke or something
    • we spent the better part of the past year trying to get him the therapy he needs without breaking the bank (again)
    • We finally succeeded and Ian is making amazing progress in a short time.
  • Morgan turned 6. This means that we are only 10 years away from her driving.
  • I lost even more hair. (See the previous bullet point.)
  • I gained even more weight. (I attribute this to stress and no time to hit the gym. Oh yeah, and eating all the stuff that’s bad for me. I may write a book about this. Think it’ll sell?)
  • The podcast has really taken off. We are now being consistently downloaded in 43 countries and at least 1000 times every Monday.
    • On that note, we went back to SETC (where they welcomed us with open arms) and we were invited to attend the Humana Festival of New American Plays at the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville. No really, as in like real grown-ups. We were invited to the major press weekend!
    • We are also coming up on our 100th episode of the show! I can’t announce it just yet, but we are working on at least one humdinger of a special guest. God, I really hope that works out…
  • I’ve had to take a mild hiatus from auditioning for anything. It now costs me more in gas money to get to Nashville than the jobs I’m driving up there for pay. And, that doesn’t account for driving up to an audition that I don’t get.
  • We got Morgan and Ian a dog. Jack. He’s a border collie/dalmation mix.

There’s even more crap that I won’t get into because I don’t want this to become a pity party. Suffice it to say that I’ve been a little too tied up to actually sit down behind the keyboard to write something that wasn’t for school or the show.

I’m not going to promise I’ll write more here, but I’ll certainly be posting updates on my work as well as a few belated pictures of the family and kids.

Thanks for still reading the site.
