So, for those of you who have been keeping score, I haven't really posted anything for awhile.  I've had a rough couple of weeks.  That hasn't really changed, but I did have the honor to meet some really nice people.  Yesterday, two customers, Joyce and Jerry, came into my department and asked for my assistance.  Two nicer people you couldn't want to meet.  Jerry was a funny guy, a real conversationalist.  After speaking to him some more it turns out that he was the chopper pilot for the opening sequence of the "M*A*S*H*" TV series and he did some aerial shots for the original "Planet of the Apes" movie, both favorites of mine.  He was a cool all around guy.  Joyce was the sweetest lady possible.  She was so charming.  She had just moved out here from Chicago and needed some furniture for her place.  I wish I could have done more for her, but I was able to help her out a little.  They told me about a fish and chips place and a coffee shop where I can meet some good contacts for what I want to get into.  She assured me that good things were going to happen for me.  Even though I'd heard it before, when she said it, it was very reassuring.  I talked to the two of them for about 45 minutes and I could have talked to them for even longer, but I had things to do and so did they, but it was a nice break from a long day.
  Today, Joyce came back in and introduced me to her granddaughter, an aspiring young actress named Kallie Childress.  She was just as nice and pleasant as her grandmother, really shy, but really sweet.  She plays one of the four heroes in the new MGM/United Artist movie Sleepover , so everyone go check it out.  DO IT NOW!!!  I'll personally be going Wednesday to show my support.  They're going to be moving away from the immediate area soon, though, so unfortunately I won't have the pleasure of their company for much longer, but hopefully we'll keep in touch.  People that genuine are hard to come by nowadays.  But if, by chance, I don't talk to them again, I wish them nothing but the best.
  You know, I had something else to write about, but in the middle of writing the first part and watching "Big Fish" my mind has gone blank.  I think maybe I'll just go to bed and finish up tomorrow.  Until then, everybody keep dreaming...
