The boys are now officially 9 months old and had their checkup today. All went as expected but at times it was a bit of a challenge to keep them from getting all riled up. They are said to be right on track in almost all areas, and as an added bonus they didn’t need any shots […]

Andrew had his long scheduled MRI today. This time I was in town and was able to go with Brenda to help out, and Brenda’s sister Toni came over to watch Max while we were there. Although we won’t have the results for a few days yet, Andrew did great. Even though he was tired […]

Yet Another Snooty Lounge

Once again, Brian the snooty world traveler, was able to get “back of the bus Tom” into a nice lounge. My personal opinion is it’s not as good as the one in Chicago, but who am I to complain. Free food and drinks, and free wireless internet.  Our flight leaves in about an hour and there’s not reason […]

Today will probably be another long edit day, but it is the last day here so no matter what we’re done after today. I’ve been gone on trips longer then this, but for some reason this one just seems a lot longer. I’m pretty home sick and looking forward to returning to Chicago tomorrow.

How do you write “Take me to the Apple Store” in Chinese? Well, I can’t tell you how but I can show you. The card was prepared by the front desk of the hotel so that I could just give it to the cab driver and he would know where to take me. None of […]

This is the view from the edit suite where I’m working. The edit suite is just a dedicated hotel room. Today is the first seriously busy day of the job. The show has officially started and the tapes are starting to come in fast. Our job is to take about 6-8 hours of a recorded […]
