   HI Arthur. How are you? How are your journeys with the movie going? I read all your posts and try to stay abreast of the Y Yoga activities. It sounds like you still are keeping really busy and yet moving forward. All is well here – Devin is about to turn 5 (yes it’s been about 6 years since we met!). Work is good, life is good and I’m just having a lot of fun.

   Of course I’d love to see you and catch up so I apologize in advance for touching base after a while and possibly asking you a favor… I am about to embark on this project and it seems really small (about 3 mins of video) and there is a short deadline, so I have been trying to figure out what/how/who to hire to help me pull it together/edit it and I just thought of you.

   So, I have to ask… Oprah Winfrey is giving s/one the opportunity to be their own host of a TV show – and to be honest, I have been envisioning this for a few years and for the past 6 months – year envisioning myself on the Oprah Winfrey show! So I feel I have to take advantage of this gift opportunity and pull together an amazing 3 minute clip that I submit. The deadline is in a couple weeks and I’m leaving for NY in a few weeks too, so I’m feeling pressed that this weekend is my best bet – or early next week to pull it together. I wrote what I want to say and have a vision of how the clip would look – at least the part of the videotaping – so my original thought was to hire s/one just to edit, but it would be much easier if I had someone help with the video who knows what they are doing. I have two parents at Devin’s school I was thinking about asking, but I honestly haven’t seen any work from either of them that knocks my socks off. And I lay in bed thinking about this and creating my clip and just popped out of bed at this odd hour to write this email.

   I am happy to pay you for some time as I realize this may be a bit of a time commitment for you and you likely have other pressing obligations. But either way, please think if you have a couple of hours for me and I’d love the opportunity to work with you in this fashion again even for just a tad bit.

   I’m attaching the URL from Oprah’s site: it’s basically no more than 3 minutes and looks like some people do a little fancy intro – I have a lot to say in 3 minutes, so I mostly just need it to be eye catchy and clean and neat. She is offering some free music to use in the clip, so I imagine a little something would be great, but really, it should be just simple but make me look like the best interviewer for a new TV show. J I will share my ideas for my new show if/when we talk further, as I think you’d be interested in it.

   Thanks for even considering to help me, Arthur. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

   Good night!
