Long time coming...

I'm sorry for the delay. There have been some pretty serious changes happening in my life culminating today with my wife resigning from her beloved job. This is a hard decision but we hope it will turn out for the best.

Although we weren't expecting this turn of events we are trying to handle it with dignity and class. Her, former, employer is taking good care of her so we won't have to declare bankruptcy. But it will put the kibosh on any long term plans. Fortunately the re-model is just about complete so we will be able to move in to our house and live there. If we are lucky we won't have to sell it for a while.

This decision was very difficult for my wife. She had a terrific job with people that she loves. Further, she has been the primary breadwinner since I started working for myself. But she felt, and I agree with her, that our priorities have changed and we need to re-assess our roles. I'm very proud of her and I think that this is the right decision.

In some respects this may be a blessing. There is little chance of Jill getting a job in the next several months or possibly for a year or two. So she will be able to spend more time with our daughter for the first formative years. Plus, we don't have to worry about day-care for while. On the other hand it puts immediate pressure on me to deliver a regular paycheck and health insurance.

I have had some good interviews and the consulting work is picking up. Frank and I finished our spec script and are now looking to tackle another project. With some luck we will get a Producer's attention and land a writing assignment.

Despite this temporary setback we are just tickled pink...get it? And I feel like the black clouds are starting to dissipate. Cross your fingers.
