Sorry kids,

Wasn't much to report for a while then i got too busy to check in.

Feels like forever.

Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments. Didn't know how that last scene was going to go over with fans of the show. If you can't pull off an emotional scene like that, yer cooked. Wanted to make sure that we did the scene and the characters justice. I cried myself when i saw it...and i don't cry EVER at my own stuff.

Was kind of quiet there for a while but things have picked up recently. Just did an episode of a show called Human Target. Was cool because i was always a big fan of Boston Legal and Boston Public. The two lead actors (Mark Valley and Chi McBride) are from those shows. I did a series called The 4400 for two years and worked with a guy named Joel Gretch. He looks exactly like Mark Valley. It was freaky. Mark actually did an episode or two of The 4400, but he left the show and i am sure that it had to do with fact that they looked too much alike. fun shoot. It was brief. I played the role that i tend to play a lot: large and in charge. Head of the FBI. Always the power roles. Once in a while i would really like to do the more vulnerable and 'broken woman' roles, but i don't seem to get into read for them much. Having said that, Ellen was a nice departure in that i got to wear jeans and be a gun-slingin-beer-drinkin-don't-f-with-me kinda gal. I would call her a broad. That is a good thing.

I just booked a part on the show "V". Some of the same people as 4400. Scott Peters is the creator and executive producer. I will probably see Joel as well as he is the lead on V. It'll be nice. Haven't seen those boys since season 3 of The 4400 so it's been a while.

Other than that, I have been busy with other things. My buddy Kelli died of breast cancer December 24th so there was a lot going on at christmas. It was a very draning event so it has taken some time to come down from it all. She lasted longer than anyone thought and managed to pack a lot of living into the last two years, so for that we are thankful. No getting around it....we're all going.... just some sooner than others. Enjoy the time you've got here. I have a new respect for life. It is fleeting. I am not scared so much of dying, but i don't want to go like Kelli did. Cancer is a bit of a monster. I watched a person disintegrate in front of my eyes and the end was quite horrible. My friend Sarah and i always joke about our plans for 'the end'. We are going to be old ladies, living in a swank pad right on some caribbean ocean. We'll hire a couple of hot young male care workers to feed us, make us drinks and generally take care of us while we drink smoke and play cards all day (i don't drink anymore but i might start again in my late 70s). Then, when it's time to go, we have a good ole party, then maybe have the boys slip a little extra juice into the ole IV and drift into eternal slumber with smiles on our faces.

Who knows if it will ever come to fruition, but if i make it that far, that is the plan.

What is next? Conventions! Three of em. Very excited about them.

Spain, Germany and Australia.

Don't have time to look up details right now as i am off to movie and gotta run, but i will get the names and dates of them later. May and June.

Going to see Avatar for the second time. I am not a second-time-movie kind of person, but it was the most visually beautiful film i have ever seen. Storyline a bit weak and corny in parts, but overall i LOVED it. Gotta go 3D. Or IMAX if you can.

Gotta run, lovies.

Hope this finds you well. Will try not to leave it so long next time.

Take care of each other.

Sam
