Jumped out of bed, late for a tennis match yesterday. Too late for any time to linger over coffee or sit at the computer, but not so late as to actually be late for tennis. Having been accepted into a group of older men who play tennis twice a week has been one of the highlights of my recent life. I used to play league tennis for quite a few years and in all that time rarely found any real comradeship. But these guys I’m playing with now…I love ’em. This morning I’m getting ready to go out to shoot my little film set in a vacant apartment downtown. It’s really a challenge getting cast and crew together for one event. Everyone has such busy lives these days. My last movie fell apart right before filming because of actors falling out and out location permission was compromised. My fingers are crossed for today. I’m fortified with oatmeal and hot coffee. My gear is ready. Here’s the picture I have as cover for my script binder.
