Dear Readers,
After four and a half short months on the Quest Coast, I've finally secured not one, but two forms of gainful employment. The first is a "reality" show that I know very little about except that it's shooting in a mansion in Encino. Some sleuthing has brought me to the conclusion that it has something to do Victoria's Secret models, but I'm not sure. As soon as I know, I'll post it six weeks later. The second is a full time job at a production company called Strike Entertainment. Barring another Kafka-esque twist of fate, I should be starting in early January. The way it went down was pretty funny, in that I found out about the reality thing first on a Friday evening last week. I'm prone to immense self-dramatization, so I while I was busy prognosticating a long and hateful career in reality TV, wiping Flav-a-Flav's nose in between takes or vetting candidates for Rock Star: Del Amitri, I got an email saying this job at Strike had finally opened up.
For a while I wasn't sure what I was going to do if I wasn't worrying about jobs. I tried a nosedive into porn addiction, but it didn't take (phew). Then today, although it was 90 degrees, I realized I was on the back end of November, so I decided that my new avocation would be discovering the true meaning of Christmas. I'm going to start my search by seeing a double feature of that new Matthew Broderick movie, "Deck the Halls" and "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause". However if time is an issue, I may skip "SC3" and try to learn accupuncture, using myself as a guinea pig. I may do that even if time is not an issue.
So that's what new. By the way, Kid Kenny says "much obliged" to the kinds words offered about his first adventure story. He was in the neighborhood getting his chaps mended and stopped by to ask if he could borrow mine. Anyway, I'll be back in Chicago for Thanksgiving...if anybody who I haven't already spoken with is gonna be there, let me know and I'll holla at you. Okay, I'll call you on the phone, whatever. Happy Thxgvng--
McK.

congrats McK! next time a nun tells me something in a fedex store, ill try to read between her lines.
Nice work hombre.
I was interviewing this old salsa musician in a diner when a bus rolled by. The Santa Clause 3 was advertised on the side of the bus. When he saw it, he shouted, "YESSSS!!! I'm seeing that!"
I really didn't know how to respond, so I just picked at my scone for a while and said, "Oh yeah?"
If I see it though, I'll be sure to masturbate in the back row.

Congratulations McKinney. Best of luck in your foray into reality TV, and you know...real life work as well.
Check out the Jonathan Taylor Thomas Christmas movie from the 90's. Like Payback, It's highly underrated.
