There is that point they say where opportunity and preparedness meet. I feel like I'm there today. There are challenges ahead, but I have every confidence they will be overcome. No shread of uncertainty.

Sometimes, you push one button, expecting one door to open, and another one does. Feed the lion, make the tiger happy. It doesn't all make sense, but it does work that way. Pure confidence is the fuel of alchemy.

It's like there's a club. Of smart people. Of achievers. It's like a secret club, but it's not all that secret. It's just that the people who aren't apart of it aren't aware of it. They throw rocks at it, but they don't know what it is. The trick is to find other people in the club, who are aware they're in the club. Who recognize the inanity of it all. Find those people who know that mountains can be moved.

What a brilliant day! Thanks to everyone who made this day so brilliant. You know who you are. We may great progress today, receiving resumes, nailing down funding, and interviewing potential crew. All in all, I'm stoked. I hope tomorrow is half as good.

Great birthday party today! Nice girls all the way around.

Drinking, eating, and piano later. I'm going to announce for crew and stuff on craigslist and CASA now. We'll see what develops. I've had a few promising leads on department heads, but not enough to keep me comfortable.

Great week. Lots of meetings. Lunches and the like. Coffee meeting tomorrow.

Saw Troy tonight. What a crock of cinematic shit. Bad writing. Bad acting. Bad directing. Horrible score. Bad editing. I can forgive some things, but not bad writing. Why I put that on my Netflix list, I'll never know. I'm trying to remember if Brad Pitt's been in a really good movie since Fight Club. I don't remember. I spent the whole movie trying to remember who played Agememnon. It was Brian Cox. I recognized the voice, but had forgotten where I heard it. He was great in Adaptation.

Coffee meeting tomorrow, then birthday party, then dinner. Maybe poker later.

Happy to welcome Edmund Vest to the Security Threat Team. Edmund will be writing his own blog soon.

'Night.

We went location scouting this weekend. Found some strong possibilities in Summit County. Lots of stuff happening now. Trying to balance work and film and freelance and family and stuff. I am obsessed. The film is going to happen probably in June. Met some cool people in Keystone. Found some cool houses. I'm going to call the owner of this one particular house tomorrow. We have a lot more leads. Thank you Craigslist.com.

This week should see an email to our investor friends and potential investor friends explaining our current situation, then a press release to whoever we can think of announcing our presence and looking for people. Rock on.
