Onward to 2011!!!!

The new year, 2011, is so full of expectations as never before!!!


One year ago, I owed back child support, as well as a student loan that was basically 20 years old.  And I had two credit cards in bad shape, as well as no sense of direction of what I wanted.  On the edge of 2011, I owe no back child support, my student loan is history, and the credit cards are in much better shape!!!


And as of today, I own a new domain for my sole proprietorship that may become a LLC in 2011.  And that will drag me permanently out of the Southern Tier of New York, perhaps to the immediate Capital District of New York, or some outlying town such as Pittsfield, Massachusetts—or Rochester.  This all makes sense (and dollars) for my future plans:



  • More fan film productions.  Batman 1969 had fill-in shooting done on 19 December 2010 in Albany, NY, as well as Rensselaer and Saratoga Springs.  Carrie's World will start in 2011, and will be based in part on the 1966 series.
  • Being in a region that supports the arts more fully!
And so much more!


Anyway, I wish everyone a blessed 2011!!  The best is INDEED yet to come!

Two years ago today

Eartha Kitt, who played Catwoman on Batman in late 1967 and early 1968, died on Christmas Day 2008 in Westport, Connecticut.  Known for her song "Santa Baby" from 1953, Ms. Kitt did a fantastic job as the Feline Fatale, and was clearly the inspiration for the Catwoman that Millicent Sherman did for my fan film Batman 1969!


And Ms. Kitt's passing matters even more when I work with one of her blood relatives, Beverly Moore of Vestal, NY.  Her sister, D. Alexis Moore, made the piece of jewelry that became the Moldavian Star, which figures into the plot of Batman 1969.


Godspeed, Ms. Kitt!!  And God Bless on this day!!
