ME: It's a gigantic leap from voice directing a cartoon show to
directing all aspects of a multi-million dollar CGI animated feature.
Not only do I lack the expertise to do a lot of that but investors tend
to not entrust that much money to someone with as little experience as I
have in that area. It doesn't bother me.

ME: There was a contractual delay...our fault, mostly. I should have a
date for you in a few weeks.

ME: We did work it all out...and I'm not sure why we haven't taken the
next step, which is to set up a schedule. Sergio is going to be here
working with me on Wednesday. I'll see if we can't unjam this one then.
I'm still trying to get the GROO/CONAN thing underway.
By the way: Thanks to everyone for the good wishes. My foot is all
better and I'm back to my usual lifestyle, such as it is.
