After a lot of consideration I had to turn it down. The role was right up my alley and the script was fun and the people I've worked with now a couple of times. So it would have been a blast for sure.
But these being perilous times, I felt I should concentrate this winter on the paid side of my work. Marketing my business and networking and all of that and also doing the commercial stuff without fear of scheduling conflicts from rehearsals and performances, which have occasionally prevented me from taking (or pursuing) paid gigs.
So that's where I am. It was the right decision, and I'm getting stuff done -- getting out there, getting on peoples' radar, etc. Commercial auditions, strangely, have dried up since that first great week, but I'm expecting Obama to turn all that around within days. It might also be that I'm not being sent on things that shoot during the week I'm gone.
Anyway, I think they started rehearsals the other day, and I do miss the people, and having somewhere to be several nights a week, the physical doing of stuff and all the laughs. From a physical standpoint I'm upping my gym routine to 8 workouts a week from 7. From an entertainment standpoint ... well, I'm glad to be able to see The Office and 30 Rock and take in the occasional evening movie.
From a boozing standpoint, though, I will definitely have to find an outlet.

8 workouts. . .damn. Between all my book deadlines and taking care of a 1-year-old, I'm lucky to get 4 or 5 a week. And that's at-home exercise---forget about going to a gym when you have a kid!
No wonder you are so skinny.
