The Short Version of a Long Drive


Non-speaking, walk-on role in a WEIRD Austin short film. Old man with arching German accent time travels and returns as a black Lab. He decided to stay in the present upon seeing Scout. Or something like that.

Eight or 10 or 12 hours from Austin to El Paso, of which I remember only thinking, "It's an electric border flower field." (Acres and acres of yellow street lights, stretched out flat across the desert.)

Truth or Consequences, NM, an off-kilter hippie town with the janketiest mineral baths I've ever seen. Just rows of tubs separated by partitions, fed mineral water by PVC pipes.

Bosque bird sanctuary. I would show you the pictures, but my car was broken into and my camera (and purse) stolen at a dog park in Santa Fe.

But, I met some really nice people from Michigan who brought beer and lasagna to me at the hotel.
