Yet another non-speaking role for me. This is a promotional spot currently running on-air for my sister-station’s mobile product. I was simply an actor in this one, and had nothing to do with writing, producing, or directing the spot.

News is just now breaking that the Mets have acquired two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher Johan Santana from the Twins (dependent on some conditions, including the ability of the Mets to sign Santana to a long term deal). Hooray!

Forbes Magazine just named America’s Top 10 Sports Mascots, and #3 on their list was Mr. Met. #1 and #2 on the list, the Phillie Phanatic and the San Diego Chicken, are no-brainers.

Hobo was given away to good home earlier today. To repeat what I said recently… He’s cute and loving and great with children, but after a year and a half he still can’t be left alone or else he chews Darah’s pacifiers and toys, empties trash baskets, and sometimes still marks his territory indoors.
