December

Well, Turkey Day was great. It's really a Wed-Sunday thing, with trips to Toga and Connecticut.
I won the weight loss contest with my brothers. Yay! Now we'll see if exercise and sensable eating will keep me at this weight.

Last Wed, before we left for Thanksgiving my son and I went to see the local mall Santa. He's a great Santa. He comes up from North Carolina to work as Santa for a month and my son has seen him every year, the the photo studio where I get most of my video work runs the photo/Santa village at the mall. Well, this is the first year that my son was willing to sit with Santa and tell him what he wants for christmas, he even had a question for Santa, "Where are the reindeer?" Anyway here's the picture of the Santa visit:


So the rest of month is a bit hectic. Some deadlines, christmas prep and it's about time to start setting up a training for crown tourney in May. And I'm hoping I can fit in some time to enter a couple of video contests this month. Finally I need to get my focus back to short films now that the video contests have gotten me moving again. So, I think I'll shoot for end of the year to have my short film from North Carolina ready and out for festival submission, at least one feature script far enough along that I could get and editor to help me polish it up and another serious short film project ready to shoot in January or February.
So that's three goals, we'll see how I do.
