Here’s another piece of the story of why I am attached to that spot.

For about sixty bucks, it looked like you could spell something like FFYL. Just in case you need extra props.

Here's hoping that you can stay in the new place for a while! I have had dreams like that where you are in one familiar place, and you walk through a doorway, expecting to know where you are going to end up, but what you see on the otherside of the door is not what you expected. I always kind of enjoy those dreams though, I like to see what my sub-conscious is going deal up. Sicily, good luck with your move, they are neither fun nor easy.

I love this set idea! I never got to stay in one place long enough... I am in the middle of another move now too :-( I think my set would be like my dreams...where I am in my bedroom, then I walk in the next room and suddenly I am in my aunt's house, then I walk in the next room and it is my grandma's kitchen... Do you ever have dreams like that? Where the landscape is a patchwork of disconnected places? Wow. I love this set idea!

He seemed fairly harmless, though. Sparky, it is a good CVS. I like your idea of making sure to include a photoshoot in Hawaii. I have cousins out there, I'm sure I could incorporate them into the story. Howard, I look forward to hearing your top three or four backdrops. Anthony, very nice, I hadn't thought of the bus delivering new characters. I like your rehersal garage, I can just see it. Lolie, I've seen all types of behavior at that CVS, so I'm not at all surprised to hear that your friend would sit down in the aisles. Em, I was kind of sad for the guy who approached me too.

My friend Christine would have to stop there for cigarettes after the bar, and she would inevitably get all teary while wandering around the aisles, and frequently sit down on the floor and refuse to move. Ah, memories. Thank you so much! I used to go to that CVS all of the time when I was in art school!

The bus could be used to drop off new characters as it passes. Mine is the garage where my old band used to rehearse. Lots of life issues (good and bad) shared and lots of good music.

I still can't narrow my life's set down to less than a half-dozen backdrops, but I'll let you know whn I've got it down to, say, three or four. ;) I always wince in empathy whenever anyone gets rejected, but I remember when I first mustered the courage to approach a woman and float an idea out of nowhere (never know what’s possible until you try, right?).

My set used to be my old place of work, all our lives would intersect and they were like sisters and mothers to me. Now I am not sure, though if we were shooting a movie, I would have to for sure make sure there was a photoshoot in Hawaii, just because well if it had to be a CVS, that is a good one at least.

Many conversations (both serious and not), drinks (both good and bad, alcoholic and not), recipe attempts (both failures and successes), laughs and tears have been shared there.
