pajamas, a fire and an empty house.
Well, I took my family home for the holidays and I am back in LA for work 
As I sit here in this empty house watching the fire crackle, I realize how special the sound of my kids running, yelling and fighting really is. When it is here all day long, all week long, all year long, you grow numb to it. It either disappears as background noise or it just downright becomes annoying. When I am wanting nothing more than to have some peace and quiet so I can hammer out details of a script, make notes on an edit whatever, you can’t seem to get them to shut up. But tonight, I sit here in this lonely quiet house with no Christmas tree, while my wife and kids are enjoying family…. and I realize how much I love that sound. I miss going into their room telling them to go to sleep and stop jumping on the bed. I miss them telling me… “Night Night Daddy, I love you”. I watched Desperate Housewives tonight and I was constantly looking over to laugh with Karen and she wasn’t there… Ah well. I rarely get to be alone. I guess I should enjoy it…
Tomorrow will be awesome. As always a new project is a great way to get your juices flowin… literally on this one. We are casting for a Mom’s Piece tomorrow about how mom’s use Juice and Chocolate Milk in their kids diets! I freaking LOVE Chocolate Milk! lol.
This is a fast one. Casting, prepping and shooting over the next week… Then – Off to Florida for the Holidays!

Paul, I understand. I'm sitting here trying to plan marketing strategies for theCRICKETtoy and the white noise gets loud at times. Very loud. BUT…as soon as they disappear for awhile, it gets lonely. It's that tradeoff of doing a creative job from home.
Hope you have a blast this week and it flies by fast.
