Todd,

Hi! It's been a coupla! It is Sunday AM and I am up in prep for a three-day SMK stint. Today we shoot all day. Tomorrow we shoot in the AM at a piano store and then record sound for the rest of the day. Tuesday we shoot all day again. SCDS has no school on Mon., Tues., and Wed., so we're taking advantage of me and Genny having time off from school.

We are right in the middle of money. Literally. The money we HAD is gone and the money that is COMING isn't here yet. I had to wittingly write a bad chack to the lab to buy film, knowing that by Tueday, when they will deposit it, I'll have put the money in. But, what was I suppose'ta do? I had three days of shooting, no cash, and I had to have film. But, it's already worked out. The replacement monay has arrived...

I wrote a song on Valentine's day that sings Highly for the "Immobile" crew. (This creative group, Organic Family, used to be known as Immobile Productions - a name we dropped for its backward vision) Well, no. It sings for a present-day togetherness; a feeling of connectedness that exists with some. It's a feeling of impending togetherness that exists in me, you, Kate, Kathryn, others... Let's face it; if you're one of the ones who feels it, it's easy to know, but ever try to explain it to someone uninvolved? Hard to do. (This song is from whence the name Organic Family sprung. Look for it in the first verse...)

Oh, how I see
This organic family
Gathering to build and hone
This stick figure home
Stepping stone walkway
I won't walk away

I feel that there is company
People that are close to me
However far away
They may seem
Oh, how can this be? (Must be)

(chorus)
Just look upon yourself as a child
Because it's hard to explain, hard to explain
Just sit with yourself for awhile
Because it's easy to know
But it's hard to explain

Oh, how I know
The fire that is light inside
Burns for creativity
And makes a spark in you
We're curtained from the view
Only by being afraid

So jump that car and take a ride
We can travel side by side
With possibility
Something tells me
It's meant to be (Must be)

(chorus)

Come on and look at me that way
Put away the fear and pride
We don't need our knees to pray
Because we're learning how to fly
You fly on without delay
I'm just watching for the tide
And I'll see you on the inside...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
It is simple and so plain
So can it be
As real as we once
Thought it could be? (Must be)

Well, that about wraps it for now. Off to shoot. Love ya... (I love you, too, bro.)
