Naturally Optimistic

My short film Jimmy Black's Cadillac is playing tonight at the new Zinema 2 in downtown Duluth. I'm particularly proud of this achievement because it was written, directed and edited by ME with some help (but not a lot) form outside forces. See? MY name is on the poster! Crazy, huh? And I didn't ask to show my film, I was asked. So that's cool. Should be fun - if you're in Duluth - check it out!

So they're re-doing the building my office is in. Again. When we moved in here a couple years ago, the place was virtually empty. A lot of days I was the only one here. Since that time they've re-done the (live) theater downstairs, the bathrooms, added offices, made offices REALLY beautifully nice and the building is full most days. Now they are gutting the front of the building & the building next door and the basement and adding a cafe & art house movie theater (yay!)....but during this time it's been construction almost constantly. Somedays do not affect me. Other days we have a guy right outside our (2nd story) window doing tuck-pointing. And other days (like today) we have LOUD sawing and jack hammering (or so it sounds) and vibrations. It's hard to get your head to do ANYTHING when you feel like you may fall through the floor like Wile E. Coyote at any minute. I'll try to snap some shots this week as I think the transformation is going to be pretty dan...
