ring o' fire.

We heart BBQing, and have been utilizing our grill frequently the past few weeks since the weather turned. This week, Dave was warming up the grill, as I was getting our entrees out of the marinade. I noticed a burning smell. I was told "duh, the grill is heating up". But I insisted it wasn't normal. I looked outside and noticed something on fire on the grill. It was the BBQ bristle brush. "Duh,. babe....you set the BBQ on fire".

Only the handle remains.

If you look closely you can still see smoke. If only I'd grabbed the camera sooner.

a leap of.......?

Well its officially official. Dave quit his job at OpsGear, and is now focusing his efforts on full time freelance. The commute was too much to handle, and we figured, now or never. We're only going to add more to the Aller clan right?

What will his first endeavor be? He's editing 6 episodes of a PBS documentary series over the next 4 months. What he's stoked about is getting to work with one of his favorite directors Blair Treu. Although Blair has accomplished some great things in his career - here are a few points that make him a star in my book.

• he was Kevin Bacon's stunt double in "Footloose" (now we can all legitimately play '7 degrees from Kevin Bacon').
• he imposes a 9 pm bedtime on himself.
• his first big break in the biz was directing episodes of "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers".
  

In addition to editing, Dave will be working on motion graphics, visual effects, and directing for projects we have slated for 2008. Way to go babe! Its great to have you home.....
