Next, ...When it comes to mind, I have to write it.<br /><br />Next, I may have to write about what I'm doing right now, spending hours on the Directors Guild of America, seeking people related to unit production managers and assistant directors who worked on the three "Airport" sequels. Plus I contacted on Facebook the screenwriter of "Airport 1975," asking for an interview with him. This doesn't feel tedious at all to me because one of these e-mails have to lead to the information I need. Hopefully.Rory L.

I think paralegals do quite a bit of research. I never thought that sounded as much fun as what I actually do, though, which is pretty much nothing.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000154353586469196.post-42568020523605961282012-02-18T18:12:53.959-08:002012-02-18T18:12:53.959-08:00Janie: Possible if I went there more than once a w...<b>Janie</b>: Possible if I went there more than once a week. But I don't feel I need to ask the manager to stock that since I don't feel a great kinship with this valley. In Henderson, I'll make a little bit of noise if I need it. Politely, of course.<br /><br /><b>G</b>: I was relieved recently to find that Pavilions and other local supermarkets are stocking Yoplait Thick and Creamy yogurt, which used to be called Custard Style when I ate it as a tyke. I can't have it all the time now because I like my weight where it is, but I make sure to get at least one per week. The vanilla flavor is fine for now, but I want strawberry again.<br /><br /><b>Shockgrubz</b>: It was worth it yesterday because I found Quaker Chocolate Granola Bites, little chocolate granola balls in 90-calorie pouches. This is the first time I've ever seen them in this valley and this should catch on. The taste makes me want to pour soymilk into the pouch. It could become its own cereal. It has that effect.<br /><br />In considering possible careers, besides a full-time campus supervisor, research sounds attractive to me. I loved putting the puzzle pieces together for my essays on Brad Renfro, Aaliyah, and Heath Ledger for my first book, and I'm having so much fun with the research for <i>Mayday! Mayday!: The Making of the Airport Movies</i>. Peter Rich, son of the late director David Lowell Rich, e-mailed me today, saying to give him a couple of days as he's battling a winter cold, but once back up to speed, he wants to give me everything I want to know about <i>The Concorde: Airport '79</i> and more. As a career, I would be fine with picking up the phone and e-mailing and whatever else is involved in finding the information that companies or people need to know. Mom has always expressed amazement at how I can find something for her on Google in two seconds, either something she wants to know about a product, or something the news stations mentioned before going to a commercial, but haven't reported yet. It's one of many options to think about.Rory L.

I bet if I saw you actually looking at it and buying it, I'd buy 20 containers and eat them one after another.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
