I've been missing. Tune into www.ethanbanville.com for updates in case I go a year without reporting again.

Been a million. Been studiously writing about to finish my book. Waiting on a few projects. Hopefully one will pop. Homegirl's got her greencard now. Yay! In B.C. getting the rest of her stuff. Sox lost both damn games I went to see in Anaheim. Oh, and I got my brakes working perfectly. AFter all it was the bubbles trapped in the master cylinder.

In brake bleeding hell right now. Not sure why. I've pumped eight liters of fluid in and my local mechanic buds have done another ten more. Stupid air bubbles.

In other news, married life going well. Hopefully my girl will haver her work visa soon. She's getting bored. Can't blame her. And with me working from home, I'm surprised I haven't driven her off the...

Wow, just noticed that my last post was post ball snipping. That's like months ago. Things are mellow, hanging out with the wife (that happened on October 18th, crazy right?). Been writing a lot and look forward to securing a gig I've been up for in January. Fingers crossed.

Back on track, balls are finally healed (tested them out last night). Man that took longer than expected. Two weeks, my ass! Hope to be back sk8ing on Sunday. In other news, finally going out with pitches and it looks like a reality show I came up with is being optioned. So off we go to pitch and sell and in the meantime come up...

If you don't know what it is, it's a great event for a great organization. The Womens' Sports Foundation which was started by Billie Jean King in '74 to help women be able to earn a living as professional athletes and has gone on to accomplish so much more.

Had to cancel my weekend plans because you guessed it, I'm sick again. I swear this town's killing me. Allergist/immunologist says it's just a bad cold/flu season and my allergies being as bad as they are aren't helping. But I'm tired of being sick so I'm going to my g.p. to have some bloodwork done. I'm sure it will turn out exactly like it did...

After a week of hellish back and forth on my contract I'm back to work. Yay! Also got to pitch my show to two networks and waiting to hear back. Glad to be working again. The strike was too long and the wait for season two of this show was even longer. Oh, and sadly the Red Sox lost to the Dodgers last night. I...

Had a great trip to Vancouver. Unfortunately caught a cold on the plane. Draggin' ass to say the least. But gotta rally. Got a pitch practice meeting with the director tomorrow.
