phone calls and chance meetings

This last week brought some nice surprises, starting with a phone call from an old friend who I haven't seen in about 15 years. Coincidentally, it was this time last year that another college pal, Sylvia, showed up in Austin with her husband and two girls and visited me on set the night we were doing our second series of stunts. College seems like a lifetime ago, it's hard to believe now that any of it even happened. It's funny how some of my college friends have children that are just entering elementary school while my daughter, now an adult, is headed off to college in a few weeks. I guess I did start a bit early.

I also bumped into a former co-worker while I was in Fort Worth this weekend. She was someone I always thought was really cool and it was great to see her well and happy.

I think this is a nice lead in to August which should start on Tuesday if all goes well.

I look forward to August. With wars and tsunamis and heat waves and doping accusations, and general life shuffles, July has been a bit much for this girl.
