The TV spots are done, thanks for asking. But they were only the tip of the iceberg.
Now that our "summer" is over and Autumn has returned (well, at least the cool temperatures, clouds, and rain one usually associates with Autumn) I took advantage of it this weekend. If I couldn't play outside, I could work inside, and that's what I did, getting together a TV spot for both tonight and next Monday (Memorial Day, when I'll be visiting Loraine's dad downstate). Not only that, but I also finished up all the writing for my first History Center tour of the summer, made a little headway into the second tour, and devoted more than just a fleeting thought to the next series of "Pieces of the Past", which I'm bound and determined to get produced before the year is out.
If you can't play outside, that's what you do inside.
I actually kinda surprised myself with how much I was able to get done, especially Saturday when I sat down to type out a few lines and had Loraine pop her head into our living room almost three hours later to ask "What are you working on now". But that's just how things go these days. I'm not in any way complaining. I am curious, though, as to how it happens.
Although maybe I shouldn't because if I look too closely at it it might disappear, right?

I was especially happy with the TV piece for tonight. I wrote several different versions of it until, all of a sudden, something I hadn't thought of occurred to me, and that changed the entire tone of it. I'll share that tomorrow and talk about the process of putting it together. And it was also nice to get "Wild Wild West" (my June tour) out of the way. When I thought of doing a tour about the 300 to 500 blocks of West Washington Street in Marquette I had no idea what I would talk about or how it would turn out. But there are some nifty stories that are coming out of my research...stuff I had no idea ever happened in Marquette.
So I hope whoever comes on the tour next month enjoys it.
That's how I spent my weekend. Hope yours was as equally productive!
