I always knew I'd be directing live television!

The guys I wanted to be like when I grew up were television directors from the golden age. John Frankenheimer, Sidney Lumet, George Roy Hill, Delbert Mann... all started in live television. 



Directing the News is very intense. Directing anything live is like walking a tightrope. However, it's exhilarating!



Hopefully, my new career will allow me to create some projects that might involve live theatre. I would love to make some shows based on plays, either classic or even something I've written. I have a nice fat notebook filled with show ideas I hope to bring to fruition on the small screen.


Still, radio seems to call on me. I can't keep it out of my blood no matter how the industry bleeds. Tonight had a couple of very interesting discussions about working on the air in mornings again. I believe I can do both, tv and radio. I have done it before.


I know those of you that have followed my daily adventures have seen me down and sad these past 20 something years, but I have to say, these last weeks have been some of my happiest times. My future looks great, too! I just hope you will always be part of it!


Now back to you.
