I’ve been really busy recently. Basketball season at the high school has been especially frenzied. I’ve been staying up late working every other night. Usually working 4 nights a week. Right now I am broadcasting the Hardwick Select Board live on HCTV. I like to tell people that I operate a 6-channel audio mixer, 4 […]
I took the girls ice skating today! Last summer I got a pair of skates that actually fit me, and I’ve been eager to use them. Cabot Rec Dept made an ice rink on the green earlier this year by building a wooden wall about 6 inches high and filling it with water. They have […]
I’ve made this a couple of times now, but I think I’m getting better at it: Chicken parts, deboned, cut into 1/2″ cubes. Boiled in a large pot of water with several carrots and vegetable broth. This time I cubed a large cooked potato that we had sitting in the fridge, and I put in […]
I’m at the Flynn today, doing projection on Sesame Street Live®. This production company is notoriously cheap. The do not want to pay for labor, so as to increase their profits, of course. So they do not put projectionists on the call. On this tour the sound guy also does their projection, and while he […]
I was sick last week, then it was Olivia. Then Stephanie, Errol and Audrey got it. Olivia and Audrey and I are mostly better, but Errol and Stephanie still have it, but that’s because they don’t wear clothes when it’s 58˚ in the house. Errol is completely naked, Steph has a short sleeve shit, capri […]
I am at the Flynn doing am easy projection job. It’s an Australian performing group, an acrobatic company. Three big strapping men were tossing the two girls around the stage like the logger’s scene in Green Mountain Nutcracker. It reminded of he one time in my life back in 1991 when Sara G saw me […]
After another long week of getting up early and working late, I am home with Errol today and Steph is at the office working on MemoirSite. In about an hour I will go get the girls from school (they get out early today). We’ll all go down to Montpelier together and run some errands. There […]
There I was writing on my MemoirSite when Audrey calls from the school, “Are you coming to pick us up?” Oh, right 12:50, not 1:50… So I pack up some PB+J sandwiches, bundle Errol up in winter gear and we set off on a long day of errands. I dropped off a review DVD at […]
I got a call tonight from a former client, one I hadn’t heard from in years. His accent was very thick and it took me a while to realize it was Giorgio of the Bulgarian opera company. They were having a problem with their projector. I worked with the guy who was setting it all […]
Yesterday I drove to Burlington and took care of an AV transfer for a client. Then I took the miniDV I recorded there and played that into a DVD recorder. It all worked perfectly. Meanwhile I was testing Premiere and Encore. Diana would like to see a window dub of the First Night concerts. It […]
Errol is here too. We are all working on MemoirSite together.
I haven’t been writing this week. I’ve been both demoralized and busy. The girls went back to school Tuesday and starting that night I’ve worked at HCTV every night. There were basketball game Tues, Wed, and Friday, with a 4+ hour long Select Board on Thursday! So I worked from 5 PM to midnight at […]
Here is a video I shot and edited.
From the Re•Bops:
The girls have been rehearsing with The Re•Bops, a 22 year long Vermont groups that sings classic rock and Motown from the ’50s and ’60s. They hired me to videotape their concert at Montpelier First-Night, too. Audrey was really scared. She liked doing Nutcracker because they had weeks of rehearsals, but for this they only […]
Yep, another busy day. Stephanie went to the office to work on a graphic with Jerome and was gone all day. I had arranged for the girls to rehearse more Re•Bop songs with Diana and Jessamin. The girls are going to be on stage this Saturday at Montpelier First Night. I dropped them off, boy […]
