Where are we now?

Well, when last I wrote, I believe that we were in Austin doing season four of Friday Night Lights for NBC. Currently, we are in Dallas, filming season one of a new FOX series starring Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks. It has undergone several working titles...Jack and Dan...Code 58...Good Guys. We'll see how it airs. What we have heard, is that the first episode will air in May...just before American Idol and then future episodes will air just after American Idol. Keep your fingers crossed for future seasons. We just got a place in a fun neighborhood and I'd like to stay a while and enjoy it.

Photos from New Orleans

Charlie just sent these photos from last summer in New Orleans.



We aren't much for drinking, but when in New Orleans Ryan likes a mint julep bigger than his head.



Hollie takes a break from the New Orleans heat and humidity to enjoy the breeze, the view and the aroma of flowers from the St. Charles streetcar.

Gorgeous Ouray Colorado

After spending five months in Oklahoma while Ryan worked on "The Killer Inside Me", we went to Dallas for a quick commercial and then rewarded ourselves with a month in Colorado! Ouray was our favorite spot. The temperatures down south have been as high at 106 degrees, but not in Ouray. Surrounded by the San Juan mountains and at about 8,000 feet, Ouray is a cool retreat from the searing Texas heat. Smack in the middle the Uncompagre National Forest, Ouray is a hikers, mountain bikers, four-wheelers, dirt bikers, jeepers delight. Tall gorgeous pine trees keep the trails shaded, the views of the peaks (as high as 14,000 feet) are to die for. We'll be back next summer for sure. Ryan works on two seasons of FNL back to back with a break in between in January (Grand Canyon Trip) and then it will pick up again in February and shoot until July. That's just in time for us to go back to Colorado and escape this ridiculous heat. I am posting some photos of Ouray, with our own personal photos to come as soon as I can get a new cord to download them.

Lovers Weekend in the Ouachita Mountains

We had a beautiful three day Memorial Day weekend in the Ouachita Mountains. It felt so good to get away from it all. We love the Fleetwood E-2!

The Killer Inside Me

No...not me! We are on the set of the movie which is filming here in Oklahoma. Here is the imdb link to "The Killer Inside Me". More details and photos coming soon.

We're still working on Ryan's on-line film and television portfolio, but here is the link.

A Dull but Overdue Post - Back in Austin for Friday Night Lights season 3

I'm tired tonight, but here is the jist of what's going on with us.

After spending five months in New Orleans while Ryan did back to back movies there, we came back to Austin (late July) so that he could work on the third season of Friday Night Lights. Here we are in mid-october and the show will wrap up for the season around mid-December. We'll head off to Florida for a week or so and then up to Wisconsin to see my Mom and Stepdad. Then we'll be off to Louisiana again so that Ryan can do a film or two before FNL starts again for a fourth season (fingers crossed).

We bought a cool little camper called the Fleetwood Evolution E2. It's really adorable. It has a toy hauler on the front so that we can haul the bikes. A shower, potty, fridge, indoor stove, outdoor stove, hot water heater, air conditioner, furnace, everything is included in this thing. It's built to go off-road. Fun! We are looking forward to hauling it all over the country to see the sites in our off time. We'll also use it sometimes when we work on location. We might be doing a film in Traverse County Michigan in the summer and it would be really great to have there. We sure could have used this while filming in Marfa!

Keeping it short and boring for now. But that's the news from here, folks!
