I had forgotten this blog existed. It was lost in time like so many old journals and diaries. Like the spiral notebook my kids found when digging through my basement. They were very interested in hearing about my grade school love life.
Funny to think how blogging has changed, even since I last wrote here. Funnier to think how much life has changed. Funny to think about the gaps in history. Stories never told. Secrets never revealed.

The Spotlight Nebraska Film Festival is coming!
They had a little press conference this week. Here's the blurb from KNEB:
Gering Native & Spouse To Premiere First Production At Midwest Film Festival
A Gering native and her husband will premiere their first production during the Midwest Theatre's 2006 Film Festival October 12th through the 14th. Steve and Andrea Mudd, formerly Andrea Myers, will be showing the political suspense film "Seclusion," filmed near Breckenridge, Colorado last summer.
The film is the story of a Congressman who has an affair with his beautiful advisor while renting a secluded cabin to work on a political speech, and what ensues when she disappears the next morning as the Congressman's wife and the assistant's husband arrive. Film Festival spokesperson Willa Kosman says she's excited about having the Mudd's first production premiere Saturday evening.
The Mudd's workshop Saturday, titled "Filmmaking on a Dime," will track the successes and tribulations of their film-making experience. The festival will also include workshops and presentations by special effects producer Helen Ostenberg Elswit, whose grandfather built the theatre, respected screenwriter Lew Hunter, and award winning photographer Joel Sartore. Premiere passes are being sold for $125 apiece. Individual event tickets will be sold at $5 apiece starting September 15th.

This handsome man is Mr. Haylar Garcia. He is the editor of Seclusion. You can visit one of his websites at www.taoengine.com. 
You could try and visit his myspace page, but you won't really find him there too often. With the exception of my lovely wife Andrea, Haylar has taken more abuse working on the film Seclusion than anyone else. And for that, I am eternally grateful.
My latest slap in Haylar's face was excluding a mention of him on the DVD commentary of Seclusion. I was unscripted and flying by the seat of my pants when I did the commentary. For those of you so lucky as to listen to the DVD commentary on Seclusion, you'll hear me mention many things. Mostly raccoons. And Bartek. You should have heard me mention Haylar. Of everyone on the cast and crew, I would vote Haylar "Most Likely to Succeed." His talent and energy know no bounds. He has a little documentary coming out: Do it for Johnny. It's a love story about Johnny Depp. And guitars. And guns. When you have the opportunity to see it, do.
Thank you, Haylar, for making Seclusion what it is.

Watch the season finale of 24 and watch HUFF!
In Monday's season finale of 24, Christopher Stapleton, star of the feature film Seclusion, will be appearing as Secret Service Agent Clark. From my understanding he will appear in the climax of the show.
And while you're at it, set your Tivo and watch HUFF on Showtime on Sunday, June 4th 10pm Pacific, 9pm Central. Missy Crider, also the star of the feature film Seclusion, will be appearing in an episode called "Tapping the Squid." Previously, she appeared in an episode called "A Cornfield Grows in LA." Catch it in reruns if you can...
Rock on...

Special thanks and apologies to Pat Angello. Mr. Angello is not only the only regular reader of Threat Watch who comments on it, he may be the only reader. He also was kind enough to let my son and I use his Avalanche tickets today as the Avs crushed the Calgary Flames. I must apologize, however, as he is a Cherry Creek High School alumnus and, well, if you read my last post, you know how I feel about that dark time in Patrick's life.
I can talk smack because the Mullen Mustangs handily defeated Cherry Creek to win the 5A state title. That same evening, my Wyoming Cowboys fought hard, but ultimately failed against the heavily-favored and NCAA-bound SDSU Aztecs.
In other good news, I have apparently been named to the unofficial Top Ten Hottest Dads list at Wilder Elementary. Sweeeeeeeet! All my campaigning finally paid off!

Hoops baby
The madness has begun. For those of you keeping score at home, the Mullen High School Girl’s Basketball Team will be playing for the Colorado State 4A Championship Game tonight. I’ll be there.
Last night, I had the pleasure of watching the Mullen High School Boy’s Basketball team frustrate the Smoky Hill High School team and earn a berth in the 5A Championship Game on Saturday. This game has a special meaning to me as the Mullen team has three kids on it that I coached a few years back when they were in Junior High at St. Mary’s of Littleton. The best part of it is that we weren’t even considered the best team at St. Mary’s. All of the “good” players were on another team. These guys stuck with it and are now playing with the best in the state. That rocks. Mullen also has 6’ 11’’ Providence-bound giant Ray Hall on their team who just dominates the floor. Even with a rough night offensively and with rebounds, Ray owned the floor dictating where Smoky Hill could and could not shoot.
The best part about the championship for the Mullen boys is their opponent: Cherry Creek. I have this deep, irrational, hatred for Cherry Creek. We have friends who probably going to end up sending their kids to Creek. I hate that. There is no other entity in the world that arouses such uncharacteristic emotions in me. Dam the Creek. Go Mustangs!
And to top off the basketball revelry, the Wyoming Cowboys who have been absolutely abysmal this season (13-17 overall, 5-11 in the MWC) upset the Air Force Falcons (24-6, 12-4) to move on to the next round of the MWC tournament on Saturday against Utah. Go Pokes! Go March!
