It's Father's Day and I have a mother load of work to do!

Happy Father's Day to everyone.  Long pause, over here.  Truth is my Father has been gone since 1998 right around this time of year.  In fact, we had his calling hours on Father's Day.  Cassie's Father died 10 years later in 2008 on the 4th of July.  They were both aries.  They were both funny and talented.  I miss them both for very different reasons.  Still, I have to remember what my Dad did for me while he was alive.

Dad was the one to pull me aside when I was young and tell me to pursue performance.  He and my Mom paid for all of those singing lessons from the 6th grade on through high school.  They came to my plays and even ventured out to Sea World to see me announce a main stage show.  Since then I've done a lot more voice over work and I truly regret not spending more time asking my Dad about his radio days when he was known as Rick Randy.  He had such a great voice. I also know that my Dad could think of crazy advertising angles like no other and would have brilliant ideas for me regarding this project and the promotion of it.

Today I'll be thinking about both my Dad and Cassie's Dad and hoping that even a smidgen of their talent rubbed off on me.

As for work I must do, it's a constant struggle to think of new ways to promote my scenes.  I'm doing this triple play at the end of July but I'm not quite sure how best to advertise that.  It might be time for another newspaper article or phone interview.

I really want to just directly reach out to Meryl's people but I'm not quite sure what I would say that wouldn't illicit the response, and so? I'll think of something.  I'm sure I will.  In the meantime, if you still have your Dad around, consider yourself blessed and enjoy this beautiful sunny day with him.
