MILESTONES | Happy Birthday to You!
2/8: Robin Christian (owner/producer, Dreamscape Cinema, Champaign, IL)
FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief in the Momkoke saga even if I’m far from relieved of duty. And next week, I will pay my final payment on the largest of monetary debts in my life. Also, Thursday was the one-year anniversary of the last time I consumed an alcoholic drink. I even shoveled the entire driveway and sidewalks at Momkoke Manor in one hour flat the other day. So, there are those things and more to conclude and others to continue working on. Life is still a mess on multiple levels (and floors). You?
