Just a reminder that we’ll be alternating down time until the end of the year. I’m on vacation through Christmas (but still doing box office). Then Nellie will take her vacation through New Year’s.

So now I’ve managed to sneak away for some badly needed R&R. I don’t care what you Hollywood people do while I’m gone: just be sure to tell Mike, Nellie, Tim, and…
