Filming Continues ...

We started back filming the DVD this weekend. Tom and I have spent the last two weeks putting together the 100 new questions we are going to use and working on the graphics and dividing the 100 questions into 10 mini-tests. Then we had to be sure all the questions had solutions and recheck to be sure all the solutions were correct .... and we emailed Tests back and forth ...

Tom has been a BIG help!! He is a WORD Wizard!!

The 10 Mini-Tests which we have created each have one problem from each of the 10 objectives. I am hoping that will be a good selling point.

So we started filming all over again on Saturday morning .... we managed to get through 9 of the problems before we received a phone call that one of Tom's best friends, John Smith, had collapsed and died suddenly. We had just been out with him and his wife on Friday night. He was only 52. They had only been married for a couple of years .... they had just bought a home. Life is precious and short. Treasure those you love.

We went to the hospital and then to his home and waited until Marsha's family members began to arrive. Tom and I will be helping her as much as we can. We are planning to have a wake to honor his life .... he didn't want a funeral. This is all so sad ....

So .... Bob the film guy came back today and we managed to get through about 1/2 of the problems by the time we finished today. Bob now has 2 weekends off for Spring Break and he is going to Florida ... and we hope to finish the filming on the last weekend in March.


Then Bob has to do all the editting of the DVD .... yet we are still on track for a May 15th release.

However .... now we need to also publish the Test Booklet. Geez .... just to get it printed will cost as much as making the DVD ... at least according to KINKOs .... dang TEA .... but we can do it ...

Onward!!
