I wanted to have my screenplay outlined by yesterday. Oh, well. Didn’t happen. Not gonna happen today, either.

But! I did come up with a title and logline.

The Old College Try: An ethics professor, who catches her dying husband with his young nurse, finds consolation from a student.

I just hope I don’t think this thing to death. I do that. I think it until it dies in my brain and is no longer interesting to me. To thwart that from happening with this screenplay, I tried pushing through and just getting it out. That got me 60 pages, which became looser and looser the further along I got. I’m not one for spewing it all and going back to clean it up. My clean-up is hard enough as it is when I think I’ve written something well!

Schweet! Just got a phone call from Orsini. They’re a durable medical equipment provider who found a special needs stroller for E-Niner. We’re going to L.A. mid-month and E-Niner needs the stroller to get through the airport and other crowded places we may choose to visit. So excited!!!! It was entirely covered by insurance, which I was concerned about. They said that the stroller had to be a “medical necessity.” Since E-Niner doesn’t have any physical disabilities, I wasn’t sure if he would qualify. But thankfully, it all worked out. So happy, because otherwise it would have cost us $530.
