We’ve come to the conclusion that the production companies we most wanted to produce our TV shows cannot, so we’re moving on to find other companies who will be able to see the potential and believe in it enough to try with us. No, the people we made the proposals for absolutely did not see them, but that’s all right, they had enough chances and more than enough time. You cannot make someone accept a gift, and we cannot afford to wait any longer.

Thanks to all who will be curious and courageous enough to take a look! That’s all we can ask!

We are NOT GIVING UP until these shows are sold and broadcast. It’s that simple. We’ve merely given up on two people.

Yes, FINALLY got everything done, in time for our friends at the two production companies to be able to review all the material over the Holidays! Really excited here, over thousands of hours of work over almost eight months and two necessary computer upgrades. Whew. I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to make the presentations public so everyone can see them, but if and when we can, rest assured you’ll be the first to know and they’ll become a permanent part of our website.

Thanks to everyone for hanging in there with us for all this time. We should know by the end of January at the latest how everything is going, and I’ll be letting everyone know what I legally can let you know, as soon as I can do it. Here’s hoping we get these two reality TV shows off the ground and on the air.

Thanks again!!

I know you hate to put anybody out, like all good people do. But you’ve got friends, family, and fans, and any one of us would be HAPPY to drive you anywhere, anytime, for any reason. Seriously. You’re human, and it’s ok to screw up from time to time; we ALL do it. Don’t let this get to you, it is a big deal, but you’ll get through it. You know you will.

If you choose to fight the case, we’ll be right there with you. If you choose to roll with it, we’ll STILL be right there with you. We KNOW how you take your role model role seriously. We know how you care. But above all, you’re family, and we all love you.

No matter what. And even if it was falling asleep, it could have been much, much worse; ask Matthew Broderick sometime.

On second thought, DON’T ask him sometime. But point is made.

Hang in there Da-Idy, and keep fighting Massacre at Park Bench. It’s a lifetime struggle for those of us who grew up with human parents. And the incredibly talented and courageous producer of the historical balls-to-the-wall documentary “Dixie Chicks: Shut Up And Sing” can stand up to anybody, anytime, for ANY reason.

Condolences on the loss of your friend. And hope your back heals soon. It can really suck when it goes out; I know too.

Okay, we are about 2-3 weeks from our two TV show presentations going out. Hopefully the production companies will be able to review all the material over the Holidays. It took a lot longer to finish then we’d anticipated; 3D rendering takes an enormous amount of time and processing power, and we upgraded to TWO Tower computers to get it done far more quickly. Will keep everyone posted on the reactions and the results as soon as they are done, and as soon as we hear anything!

Thanks for hanging in there with us!!

I haven’t posted or updated the website in a bit because we’ve been working very hard on getting the ultimate presentation to two number-one (and I mean number-one) production companies and teams who will be reviewing both Forever Family reality TV shows very soon. I can’t say who they are because it’s just not done in order to keep from jinxing things, but I can promise that if they agree to take the shows on you will be shocked out of your mind at who they are and what a miracle it will be for all of us. We’ve also been working hard making extensive reno plans for a new headquarters right here in Las Vegas that is ginormous enough for everyone to live comfortably while shooting the shows, and yet needs substantial renovation and completion. So that’s what’s been happening with us, and good news is, if we get these shows into production, we’ll have a lot more time to keep everyone updated here with everything that will be going on, from putting together the live show to recording the second and third CD’s.

I’ll be sure to keep you updated if these great companies decide they can’t take the shows on.

It seems like all hell is breaking loose. Haiti, Chile, Andrew, then Michael, and now Corey. This blog, which was meant to be a place of happiness and escape, has become an obituary column.

I’m depressed too. But my only way out, what has always been my only way out, is my dreams and my work. And if you are in the midst of a horrific depression, please find something, anything to do. Start small. Sometimes just picking up a couple of things and putting them where they belong is enough to do it.

I’m so sorry for Corey and his family. I hope the guy that molested him gets what he deserves soon. If he hasn’t already.

P.S. We’re also going to be contributing 20% of the 50% that comes in via donations to Chile, who seems to have a handle on their situation a bit better than Haiti. We haven’t ignored Chile, I’m just slow updating the news and main pages of the website.

So far, since we announced the plan to give to Haiti, NOTHING has come in, so we’ve had nothing to give. I don’t know if people are waiting until the three month period is up to just give to us, or they’re giving directly to Haiti and Chile.

I’m going to believe that’s the case, that people are giving directly, and I can be happy with that. Thanks to all who’ve given!

Our sincerest wishes and prayers going out to Marie Osmond and her family on the death of her son Michael.

A very long time ago, my high school best friend invited me to a comic convention in San Diego, that had a lot of Star Trek stuff going on. And in the glass elevator at the El Cortez, we met Walter Koening and his little son Andrew who must have been no more than two or three at the time. Even in a quick fan-type moment that was over too quick, it was clear that Walter was very proud of and deeply loved his son.

I only saw a couple of episodes of “Growing Pains”, so I never knew that “Boner” was that little boy. Never made the connection. Not until the last couple of very bad days.

And Vancouver is one of my favorite cities, so I know how grey and dreary and cold it can be.

I only wish that those who take their own lives in horrific pain can’t fake it first to see how many people around the world, people they don’t even know and can’t remember meeting, truly loved them. Not to mention their families, friends, mere acquaintances, and fans. If they did, no one would ever, even in the midst of horrible depression, feel they were alone, and they’d know who to go to for help, and know that they would never, ever, be a bother.

Andy has gone on to a much better place than this world, and we all are poorer for losing him. I only wish he could have felt a bit of how much he’d changed everyone’s lives who met him, even if only for less than a minute, coming out of a glass elevator, his hand tight in his Daddy’s.

That’s how I will always remember him.

Deepest and heartfelt wishes for his family, friends, loved ones, and fans.

Hi! Welcome to the new blog! I thought the black and white design would be a nice change from the rest of the website, hope you like it. This blog will be used primarily to post the weekly youtube videos we’ll be shooting, so I won’t be repeating much of what I say in the videos.

So that’s it. First video (along with the rest of the new website) should be up in a week or two, and I’m looking forward to meeting you all online and in person! Thanks for all your interest and support!
