Production days finalized for 26-28 December to return to the eastern Sierra, most likely including snow shelters…. I’m looking forward to finally getting in some real winter weather after so many years in southern CA.

#$!@ I ‘d even take returning to my personal ‘Ithaca’ where I grew up in northern CA right now….any place where it isn’t 80 degrees in late November.

We complete our preparations as a group this evening, and head to the desert Friday. The crew numbers approximately 10, in 2 units (video, stills) and  2 combined teams. Still to be determined: who brings which wine coolers- and malt liqour empties to be used as props…..

Weather forecast is for standard spring conditions for the high desert, we’ll see how much wind but the blimps will handle that if needed. Now to resume my joke research, for the campfires- wait! Michelle Bachmann just declared dual US-Swiss citizenship, I should be able to come up with something good from that ————–

The drive was fun. I’m finishing some documents needed to instruct the participating climbers in next week’s project and those needed before the last crew rehearsal next Wednesday.  The weather’s spectacular here, I always love to return and with luck I’ll someday come back here to stay.

I almost finished that gallon jug of Arizona lemon iced tea from last week, and find that you can only eat so many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in one day…. but I feel fine and may take in a film this evening.

Tomorrow will be very busy recording videos of my mother, describing memories of the family and her life as she approaches her 80th birthday on 29 June. She asked specifically to eat at Red Lobster by saying, “do you have Red Lobster money?”
