A busy, busy Fall so far, and many changes have come; so many that I thought I should blog about it before things move too far, and I forget.
The big development is that Gene Gee, the man who helped me form the Icebox Radio Theater and got me a job at KBHW radio, keeps trying to put my kids through college. At the moment we really did need some help financially, Gene popped back up into my life from the position of his new job in Portland. He’s head of the radio division of a PR firm that creates fundraising campaigns for non-profit organizations. He threw some work my way, which worked out pretty good so more work came my way, so now, I’m basically, for the first time in my life, a working freelance writer. And just like in the movies, PR work pays pretty well.
It’s put me in the mind of all the other help I’ve had over the years. For example, I’m writing this on an amazing desk my father built for me seven years ago. All the people that have come alongside the theater over these past four years. And, of course, Diane’s eternal patience and belief. I don’t really know where this new career is going to end up (Gene keeps half-teasingly talking about moving us to Pasadena in a few years) but it is a nice feeling knowing my ideas have value. More later.
