Two massive Low-Pressure systems are converging over the coast this week, bringing thunder, lightning, rain, sleet, and snow to Central New York. I spent time today on the phone and Zooming with Bill Muench. He’s in Manchester, VT. They’ve got a lot of snow. It looks like winter there. We look more like, well, Central New York “Springter.”

Bill and I booked our flights to Houston this morning. We will be staying on Galveston Island in August. We have a screening at the Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston. We’re looking forward to spending time at Space Center Houston. Jeff Carr, Jerry’s son will be with us. We will also visit some of the legendary people who appeared in our film.

Bruce Coville and I burned through a few more pages of the score to GRAIL. Bob Christianson sent me a few more Instrumental Tracks. We’re starting to gather auditions for roles in the Broadway Musical. We’ll do the demo recordings here in CNY, then move to London to film and record with the European cast. We’ll dive back in tomorrow morning. Tonight, I might try to take a break. It’s already getting late.

Every once in a while I need to slow down. Chill. Relax. This is a quick watercolor out of my sketchbook. I did it a few days ago. Perfect for a day with a storm circling off the Coast of New England.
