When we last saw our hero.....

...he has just come back from San Diego and in the last 2 months has not written in his blog to the dismay of dozens of people that venture to his web site and have been sorely disappointed that there have not been a new entry. Well, ok, that was kinda dramatic, but I know I've been lazy. But here are the highlights not in chronological order.....

• Serenity opened last week to good but not great business last weekend. Universal did a good job promoting the film and us Browncoats did the terrific job getting the word out, but in the end it's been a tough year in general for the movies and getting lot of people to see a film based on a series that was on for 2 1/2 months no matter how great it is a almost impossible task. But it's not over - not by a long shot. I still feel that this is the best SF franchise since Trek and has potential of being just as iconic and beloved.
• The Sox are in hot water in the playoffs.....again. And this time it's ok. Because not only have they been in this position before and succeeded, but this time it's different. The agony is gone. If they lose Game 3 I won't like it a damn bit but it'll be ok. Because THEY WON THE WORLD SERIES last year, the monkey is off the team's and the fan's back. Of course this doesn't mean that the 2 horrific losses in the ALDS have been fun to watch, it hasn't been the gut-wrenching ordeal we have all gone through year after year. Wait 'til LAST year!!!!
• Finally, I am once again moving on career wise. I have mostly enjoyed the position I have had the past 12 months, but I was offered a position that gives me more responsibility, more chances to learn and succeed and a really nice bump in pay to boot. And at least this time the jump is on MY terms, not some bean counter's.

Will our hero get his wish and see his favorite franchise succeed? Will his beloved Sox escape elimination and go to the promise land....again? Will he finally truly be happy going to work?

Stay Tuned......


.....no, really, I'll try to write more....promise.
