Interesting News...

Before I get started, note how late it is in the year. In other words, we're nowhere near April and I'm not predisposed to practical joking anyway. (When I joke, I'm even less practical than usual.)

I now have a second job. I'm a production assistant on a movie,and perhaps even a short film, too -- both being shot here in town. It's on a 'point system' -- for those of you who don't know what that means; when the movie makes money, so do we. And by we, I mean everyone from the actors to the directors and writers ... And the production assistants. Needless to say, that director is going to be promoting the heck out of this movie. (Before anyone starts, and I'm not saying any of my readers will; yes, I do know that a couple of years could have passed when -- if -- I see money from this project. It is still something I can put on a résumé. And I'm going to be enjoying the experience, I can tell you that much already.)

Now, as for my left arm ... That could take a while to heal up properly, if it does at all. Ulnar nerve is pinched at the elbow -- probably from repetitive motions. Surgery has not been ruled out. In fact, the way the neurologist talked, it seems that this problem could go dormant and stay that way for several years only to flare back up to be even more crippling that it was before. (I'm opting for the surgery in case you're wondering. I want to avoid the flare ups -- or even the possibility that there will be flare ups.)
