-Once again, I've been remiss with my updating. My brother passed away a couple weeks ago, and I've been focused on that. Something like that really makes you re-evaluate your priorities. One thing both of me and my brother were committed to is living the kind of life that we wanted instead of what others wanted for us. I guess I'm even more grateful now for the opportunities I've had, now that I've been reminded it can be taken away at any moment.

-It looks like MPW is in negotiations for some province wide television exposure, so it's back to the Idiom control room to get ready for the pilot. I'm very excited about it, but I'm also a little sad that my brother will never get to see it. We used to watch wrestling together as kids, and once put on a 'match' for my father's birthday complete with entrances (the finish was a splash off the coffee table as I recall).

-ANDREW IWANYK did very well at Just For Laughs, and a major studio has expressed interest in him. That's great news. Andrew's one of the most talented guys I know, and he inspires me a lot with his work ethic and unique vision.
