First, let me pull this foot out of my rear...

...courtesy of Violet Sky. She gently (in her calm Canadian manner) reminded me that I promised to start blogging again. Last December. Did I actually promise that? I'm lucky these days if I wake up and can remember what day it actually is, I've been so busy.

A quick catch-up: Mrs. Nighttime and I are legally separated as of the beginning of this past December. I don't want to go too much father into that, out of respect for her privacy. I will only say that this has been the hardest thing I have ever endured. I feel as though I have severed a part of my own body off, and quite frankly, it was easier in many respects to endure a liver transplant than to leave my marriage. I know she is still incredibly angry with me, bu I'm hoping that with time, she will forgive me for what I felt was my only option.

In December, I did a play at Blackfriars. It kept me sane, and also provided me with one of the best acting experiences of my life. It was the best ensemble cast I have ever worked with, and there was a lot of laughter both on and off stage.

Nothing really new on the job front, however, an opportunity popped up two weeks ag that has turned into the most potential since the debacle I had back in October. Through the help of a friend, I am now the assistant press officer for one of the two leading candidates for mayor of Rochester. We're having a special election on March 29th, as the current mayor left office in January to become the Lt. governor of NY State. My friend became his press officer, and asked me to help him as his assistant. If our guy wins the election, there is the very good potential that we could all go to city hall with him.

That's all for now. Yes, it's boring, but it's a way to start blogging again.

Yeah, it's about time. You know what a nosy lot we bloggers are and want to keep an eye on everybody's life, haha.

It's a wonder there isn't a play about blogging as yet. Or is there?

VS - I'm making my life up as I go along...

King - Thanks boss. Was back home in NYC in Jan. I see they're using some interesting new vehicles for cabs. I do miss Checkers...

GG - I think The Social Network is the closest thing we have to that.

Oh, that, I'd forgotten about it. I think it won all sorts of awards at the Oscar. I wonder if it's good.

GG-Haven't seen it yet, but many of my friends loved it. Did see Black Swan and The King's Speech. Black Swan will screw with your head, but Portman deserved that Oscar. King's Speech was nothing short of magnificent.
