Thanksgiving

New York. Cold, crispy night. Had dinner with friends yesterday. The streets of the village are calm.

Back in NY

Chelsea and I had a good trip to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, she got attacked by fleas. I was worried this might happen since she is very allergic so before leaving I put Frontline on her. But, that didn't seem to do a thing. We went to visit a friend of mine who had just rescued a cat. By the time, we went back to where we were staying Chelsea was scratching like crazy and covered in fleas. Not good. It was midnight and I found a drug store, bought flea shampoo and bathed her. She slept peacefully but by morning she was scratching and the fleas were back. We ran out and bought Advantage and I applied this on her back. That eventually killed the fleas but the damage was done and she was bitten all over. Poor kid. This was one of the battles we constantly dealt with while living in Los Angeles. Thank God that is not a problem in New York. Other than that, we had some wonderful meetings and got to visit with friends. Nat hosted us and couldn't do enough. There was always a home cook meal waiting for us. Much to do as always. Just finished a funny short film/promo called MY NOSE. No, Chelsea isn't in this one. But we are working on other stuff together. Don't worry she is running my life! Have a great day. Hugs, Gayle Licks, Chelsea and please don't switch that around!

At AFM in LA

Chelsea and I just flew into LA to attend AFM (American Film Market) which her film is being sold. Passion River is our foreign sales agent. Chelsea is crashed out on the floor next to me and I feel like doing the same. I'm pooped. Slept three hours last night. We will be here all week. A few days for the market and then meetings and friends. Remember we lived here for 13 years. Or I should say I lived here for 13 years and Chelsa entered my life when I was here. It's hard to be "on" when all you want to do is go to sleep. This is the first time I'm at this market with a film and it's a good feeling. I know I've been behind on this entries and I'm sorry. Every now and then I hear from an old friend who tells me he or she read it to find out what was going on with us. We've had some screenings and they went great. It seems like this little film Chelsea and I made really speak to dog lovers all over. I'm amazed at how often I bump into someone who has come back to see it again. The DVD is going to be Borders, Barnes and Nobles, lots of DVD stores and even Petsmart. Please spread the word. I'm doing all the manufacturing and if it doesn't sell ...oy! I must take them back. It's like the publishing business.

No plans for Christmas yet. I'd love to take Chelsea and head up to Quebec, maybe even do some skiing. Okay, later.
