Ohio's treasure...Lake Erie

I spent almost a week last month on the shores of Lake Erie, it was great. While I was looking for new clients each day, I had plenty of time to enjoy the water, sun and fun to be found in and around our treasure to the North.

I'm being sued and it stinks!

Yep, two people have filed against me for a car accident some four or five years ago. Due to the fact these two were under eighteen, the statutory time-limit to file doesn't begin until they reach that age of enlightenment.
Apparently, the scales fell from their eyes when...for example...the young man, who has spent the last three years in construction jobs, made a visit to a chiropractor complaining of a back pain subsequently assigned to the accident. Uh huh.
The depositions went well, the insurance company seems calm....it still bites!

They get me every time.

I made a delivery to Wooster, Ohio, today...then took some time to shop and have lunch. I saw my favorite sign while there. There is a company with an entrance that is clearly marked: "Entrance Only" then beneath..."large trucks use North Entrance." When you get to the North Entrance it is clearly marked: "Exit Only" and beneath, "Large Trucks Enter Here." Apparently this is the area on earth where Only (capitalized) does not mean only...maybe Bill Clinton is making signs now!

I don't get it.

On my way to the office this morning I was listening to my usual drive-time radio station. Of course, I listen in a different way as I'm always paying attention to the commercials and promos instead of the news or music. One thing I noticed was the number of local advertisers who bought sixty (60) second spots. I know it makes sense from an economic point of view (a 30 second spot costs about 80% 0f a 60), but I heard lots of wasted time...which equals wasted money. Complicated plot lines, extraneous humor, and just plain fill...the "sell" could have been better delivered in a tight thirty.

Rained out!

I try to get most of my recording done very early in the morning...before 5:00am on the mornings I don't run. But this morning there is a thunderstorm going past; as a result, I can't run and it's too loud to record any voice tracks. So, I'm working on some editing and making this entry waiting for everything to "blow over."

Nice to have an office.

Sometimes it's nice to have an office to crawl into when everything else is swirling around. A few minutes ago our good friend, June, stopped by for tea. Soon I could tell that if I didn't get away I'd spend the rest of the evening in conversation...not that there's anything wrong with that...but I do have business to which I must attend.

I hate it when I can't deliver.

I recently completed a "message-on-hold" job for an Otolaryngologist's office, but now my contact isn't responding to approve, change, or just plain reject the piece. It drives me nuts when I don't hear anything on completion of a project!

Clients' questions!

I finished an article on clients either appearing in or providing voiceover for their own commercials yesterday, this morning two clients asked me what I thought about having them do their own on-camera. Life imitating art...

Sid Sizzle Returns

Just completed another "Sid Sizzle" commercial...it ain't art, but really pays the bills!
