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

Also still working on the Marilyn McIntyre feature with Mary Jo :)
