Writing the music for these documentaries has been amazing, and a welcome challenge. I've roughed in a few hundred bits of music to be used across three documentaries covering a total of 4 hours of air time. I've been beating up on my hard drives and instruments to the point of steaming up my little room. The first 'Biography : Bill Murray" shipped out yesterday. It was a great effort from the team to get the master tapes and ancillary stuff in the mail early and safely. Next up is "Biography Rodney : Dangerfield" followed all too quickly by "Biography : Joaquin Phoenix". Between those, my "normal" client work and trying to maintain a training schedule, it's been a hell of a 7 months since my accident. I'm happy to report that the limp is almost gone, and I'm back on the bike commuting into work.

In other thoughts : China has me very worried. We're sending boatloads of money over there by purchasing their products, then having them lend it back to us. Their interest and concern over the pending health care reform has me worried. Do we really want the US health system to be subsidized by a foreign country? I agree with Bill Hicks when he calls the deficit a farse and illusion, until now (it seems like funny money to me). But, China is a very real creditor that can extract payment from us in a myriad of ways. And just wait until they really get cracking in unmanned space exploration missions in the next 50 years or so. Wowza.

Chrissy and I had a great 3 day jaunt to Miami to celebrate the wedding of Trisha and Brian. Check the link to TriianBurbank over there to see their jewelery company's output. Very cool stuff.
