Some fairly big changes are happening in my and Finn's life right now. I don't even know how to type it all out because the concept of communicating about these changes was something for which I never thought I would have to prepare. Finn's Dad and I have come to an agreement that we would separate (we have already) and divorce. We have been focusing on making a good custody plan for Finn so this horribly painful transition time is not so painful for him.
For family and friends that are discovering this info for the first time in a blog...I am sorry. We tried to communicate this to as many people in person as possible. I have waited some time to say anything publicly because I honored a request to do so.
I met my doctor's weight loss goal for me this past weekend. I have lost 20 lbs so far on the Fast Diet. I celebrated a bit too much Saturday and Sunday upon seeing this milestone, and am getting back on track now ;) I emailed my doctor and he gave me the go ahead to go after my weight loss goal..only 15 lbs to go!
Because of all the current changes in our lives, I have put the film projects on hiatus until I find a paying, out of the house job. I am going as far as getting my bartender's license now. I have been taking the online bev server's class this week. I had two more interviews last week...still no word. Wish me luck!

just keep swimming
Big personal changes coming...I will have to update that later.
I have been on the fasting diet for a little over three weeks. I have lost a total of 16 lbs. I am sure the fact that I have added exercise doesn't hurt. I have been running twice a week and biking or swimming or playing disc golf at least once a week. I am also still restricting sugar and carb calories to keep my body feeling the best it can :)
I have been looking seriously for a job for two months...just kinda looking for like 10 months. Still no job. The local dream job was just given away to some lucky bastard...who isn't me. :(( I can usually just let stuff roll off my back, but this one hurt. I went through three interviews and was one of two top candidates and they picked the other person because I moved around too much in my past and have a gap in my work history.
This gap would be called being a stay-at-home parent. Why do the parents who consciously decide to stay home with their children in their formative years get penalized for doing so in our community? It is frustrating. Do they want people to have children just so others can raise them for you? No empathy or transition support? Just a big F you to those who choose to be stay-at-home parents. Thanks America
I am still at work on the Vernon Hershberger doc, which may end up being about more than just Vernon's story. http://www.vernonhershberger.com/
The ever increasing presence of corporate agriculture is oppressive in this country. It would be interesting to focus on some of the other important stories that are being touched by this issue. My co-filmmaker/writer, David Gumpert blogs on this subject here
