I don’t know if that’s how you spell Crimany, but I do know this: I am getting sick waiting around this joint. The flight I’m trying to catch has been delayed twice! Now it’s slated for 2:10pm. Crimany!
If I can’t get on that one, I will take it as a sign to go play in SF until the morning flight and also that I should buy a big screen TV.

Here I sit, broken hearted.
Tried to board but it departed.
Yep, the first flight was full:(
Bummer. I now wait for the 12:44pm flight.
On the bright side, I get to sit across from the food court and NOT drink soda pop. I’ve been off the stuff for 3 weeks with no ill effects. Still fat. I think my out-of-shapeness will add character to the softball player I’m going to play in Oregon. Acting!! I gained 40lbs for the role over the last 15 years.

As I sit in the San Francisco Airport I realize that this city truly is a melting pot of peoples, cultures and Asians.
For example, I just ordered a hearty breakfast burrito from the nice Mexican chef at Andale’s and then some Chinese dudes walked by as I made my way into the men’s room. There, I was greeted by an other wordly, global stink that I won’t soon forget. Even if try. While relaxing in the United Nations of Smell, I recalled Senator Craig’s incident and made sure not to tap dance!
Man, I hope I make it to Oregon. Otherwise I’m gonna make my into San Francisco to play with David Malloy and Todd and Marlene and my cousin Tim and the 49ers and the bridge and the Asians!

My trip to Ashland got off to a pretty smoothe start as I got my stand by ticket without incident. It got interesting, however, at the security check point when I noticed my ticket said “Passenger: Chris Mundell”. If you know me very well, you know that my given name is Hopi, not Chris. And if you know me VERY well, my name is a-bit-lumpy-when-nude. The security guys didn’t know me very well or VERY well. So, I qualified for Extra Security Check! WOOO! It’s like winning the lottery of frisking!
I could hear Don Pardo announcing my prize…
“Congradulations, Hopi, called Chris! You and no guest will be whisked off to a VIP area where you will enjoy an extended stay while your belongings are thoroughly examined for anything out of the ordinary! But that’s not all! You will enjoy a pat down of your arms, legs, thighs and buttocks by one our best patters down!”
It didn’t help that I had a Taliban beard growing in. Luckily, the nice security man found me flight worthy and I was off to San Francisco! That’s where I find myself now. I’m trying to get to Medford, Oregon. I should really get one of those $6 bagels!

Friends, this Saturday I will travel up to Ashland Oregon to hang with Gary and Anne Lundgren as they shoot Gary’s film, “Calvin Marshall”!  I might even end up on screen a bit;)

I’ll keep you posted while I’m on the road!

What should I call my adventure?

A big thank you goes out to David Malloy and the production staff over at NBC’s ER!
Even in these unsure times when productions are shutting down all over town, the wonderful folks at ER collected what generous tokens of affection they could to make sure I had a nice birthday this year.
Who said Hollywood sold it’s vapid soul to the devil in exchange for untold riches and fame?  Not me!

Thanks for the…
