Sorry for the delay in responding. Even though I'm working from home, I'm busy. Still working for Kodak, our team has shrunk from 17 down to 5. Writing control software for our commercial ink-jet printing systems. I do the UI's, now in C#/WPF, along with installers, our build system, admining our servers, and so on. A couple of weeks from now I reach my 30th anniversary at the place. How about y'all? Still acting, in addition to your day job?

That is what is supposed to happen. Some juniors tend to think home equals slacking off. :laugh:

Ouch... could be worse... I got a buddy in the travel industry still. At least you don't work with flights.

So, I've lived in the Hollywood area for the past 5 years... long story short I did more acting in Louisiana than here. Not because I can't but because I saw the truth about Hollywood and I'm no longer enamored by it... basically it's all fake and an illusion. All of it. Fake. Did manage to start my own LLC though to start contracting through, so that's something I guess. You still jogging / running these days?

I'm sorry about that. That sort of disillusionment is rough at any time in your life. I have a friend who's active in our community theatre. He really enjoys it, I think mostly because it's something so different from his day job. Is that something you'd like to try?

I'm on a hiatus at the moment, to which the bathroom scale can testify. I sprained my right ankle for the third time a couple of years ago, and it never wanted to heal properly. I've been off for about 4 months now, and it seems quite a bit better. I'm going to start walking my dogs(*), and work up from there. (*) A male and a female retired greyhound, both former racers. Funny thing is, they're not good running partners. Their idea of a run is 60 seconds at 35 mph, and then a 2-3 hour nap.

I totally understand that. That used to be me... except theater was never my thing. Our life is tech, so video is the way to go. Hollywood changed my view on all of it though.

Welcome to the club brother, we're all a bit heavier during this pandemic. :laugh:

Let's be real... we're all slightly jealous of their life. Sometimes I think we're the pets since we pay for and clean up after them.
