Of Scripts and Speeches

Well, I'm no speech writer, but I did write and deliver a farewell/retirement speech today that seemed well received. My dear colleague Judy Lanier retired today after having worked on our team for seven years. I was asked to say a few words, which was easy since she is such a wonderful co-worker. So that's my excuse for a no-writing day today. I'm also beginning a collaboration on a program script that will involve interviews and film. The writer/director has a strong concept already--I'll just be massaging and editing. But it should be a challenge--especially working with someone else.
