Saturday
We’re back from Germany, recovered from the jet lag and have returned to the daily grind of work and some semblance of our lives prior. We opted for Vienna to celebrate our 10th anniversary via a 9 hour train ride through Germany. It couldn’t have been more perfect. The German countryside was covered in snow and made for a moving vista outside the window too beautiful to take your eyes off of. Vienna had a snow storm the day we were there, but we managed to walk around and see some sights and have dinner at an upscale traditionally Viennese restaurant which included a 6 course meal with a different Viennese wine with each course. We returned to Germany for New Year’s Eve, or Sylvester as they call it. This involved a small party near the harbor and just after midnight walking to the water and blowing up fireworks that only professionals are allowed to handle in the states. Great fun!
Luci and I had a series of meetings mapping out what is left to do on the film as well as the possibilities of elements to integrate into the film to make it stronger. We recently bought a DVD player/burner and although it seems to work great on our end, we have had terrible luck with others being able to watch them. Very frustrating. Thought we made a great choice and in the end, we’ve had to go back to the old reliable VHS dubs.
