Whew. What a long day.

Scott and I drove into Tucson this morning from Las Cruces and got here around 10:30-11:00 local time (Pacific).

We met with Corey Dane and checked into our apartments. They are great. We're going to be very comfortable while we are here.

Shortly after noon, we headed over to Patrick's house and pretty much went right to work. Carol Ann and Hillary were both there and Hillary grabbed some lunch for me - a really great roast beef sandwich with spicy peppers.

Scott and Patrick talked about lights and cameras for an hour. After that I was able to drag Patrick away and he and I walked through the script line by line for a couple of hours.

Jennifer made us a great dinner and a pitcher of margaritas. All good.

After dinner, Scott and I set up the dolly for a camera test and Patrick seemed to think it went pretty well.

We left around 7 and stopped to buy groceries.

I've been putzing around putting things away since then.

Tomorrow is the first day of shooting. I have a lot to do before 3:00 pm. I'm going to need to print out some script addendums in the morning and get that to Patrick.

I didn't get to take any photos today, but I will tomorrow.
