RANDOM PIC OF THE WEEK<\/h3>\n

I found this on the internet.  I LOVE it!  If you don’t get it, don’t ever talk to me again. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Though I’ve been back from Palm Springs for a week now, a song from Native American musician Waykey has been spinning around in my head.  Haunting and beautiful.  Meditative and introspective.  DEEP music!  It’s called “Rainbow Canyon.”<\/span>  Enjoy.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/wallysweek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/raindow_canyon.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Tuesday the 26th \u2013 SIGNS, SIGNS, EVERYWHERE ARE SIGNS! \u2013 <\/span>There were some last-minute, urgent auditions in my inbox when I awoke around noon. So I recorded those and e-mailed them to the appropriate agents.  I went through the mail that had stacked up during my Palm Springs visit, paid some bills, and then hopped in the rented SUV and took it back to Enterprise.  I walked home and enjoyed the gorgeous day.  I hopped in my Mustang with Roxy and went to my box to pick up my mail.  We met with my assistant Sara at Paty\u2019s for lunch.  Then I headed over to Fast Signs to pick up the signage I had printed for Planet Wallywood.  They also printed some great artwork for my new lunchbox I had made.  When I got there they had the stickers all attached to the lunchbox and it was ready to go. It looked awesome!  I jetted home to write Wally\u2019s Week, and then met for a bite of dinner with my pal David Elkouby, the producer of the Hollywood Collector Shows.  Roger Moore is doing another private signing and I had some stuff for him to sign that I gave to David, who\u2019s acting as the intermediary.  When I got back home I finished up Wally\u2019s Week, continued unpacking from my trip, did a few more auditions, did some work around the house, made some sloppy joes, and started in on \u201cBatman\u201d season 2 on Blu Ray.  Unfortunately it was the episode featuring Art Carney as The Archer. While I generally enjoyed Art Carney\u2019s work, this episode was a total misfire in many ways.  A sad start to a much-anticipated second season.  But I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll get better as we go.<\/p>\n

Wednesday the 27th \u2013 RIDE, WALLY RIDE! \u2013<\/span> What a stunningly gorgeous day.  The day I was hoping for became a reality, and I had planned on riding my bike to all my gigs.  First I rode about a mile to Voice Trax West for a quickie session for US Airways.  I had thought about riding back home, jumping in my Mustang to go get it washed, and then driving to Studiopolis in Burbank for a Marvel session.  But once I got on my bicycle and started enjoying the day, I just kept riding, and riding, and riding.  I figured I\u2019d bike all the way to Studiopolis and enjoy the day and the ride. I could get the Mustang washed another day.  I enjoyed the 6 mile ride out to Studiopolis only to discover when I got there\u2026I WAS AT THE WRONG STUDIO!  The information for the location of the session fell between the cracks, and I SHOULD have been at the Studiopolis location about 2 blocks from my house!  Oh well!  I had lots of time before my session started, and I was enjoying the heck out of riding my bike\u2026so I headed back to my house.  With a quick stop along the way at Jersey Mike\u2019s to pick up a sandwich, I got to the session just in time!  The session was short and sweet and I rode back home to eat my sandwich.  I did some work around the house and then grabbed a quick nap on the couch.  I got up and finished cleaning off my desk and organizing some receipts.  I got on my computer and input some new media items into my database, and then I recorded some new voice tracks for Go 96.3 in Minneapolis.  I finished up my auditions and settled in for the night to finish off my Jersey Mike\u2019s sandwich and watch another \u201cBatman\u201d episode from the 2nd season Blu Ray set.  It was a Catwoman episode, and it\u2019s always a privilege to watch Julie Newmar in action as the felonious feline!<\/p>\n

Thursday the 28th \u2013 WONDERFUL WALLY WATER! \u2013<\/span> When I got up at noon the first order of the day was to get on the phone with a Program Director friend of mine in the Midwest and record some tracks for his station.  He was looking for a new voice for the station, and since the station is in my hometown, he thought it might be nice to get me back on the air there.  When we finished my contractor Electric Bob sent his co-worker Ernie over to look at an issue in my bathroom wall.  Ernie worked on it while I did some work on-line.  When he left I headed over to Paty\u2019s to have lunch with my assistant Sara.  I picked up the mail at my box and got 10 cases of Wonderful Wally Water; custom labeled bottled water that I had made to pass out at sessions and auditions as a promotional vehicle.  They turned out great!  240 bottles will go fast, I have a feeling!  I got home and recorded some auditions, and then high-tailed it over to my hair stylist for an update on my cut and color.  My pal Brittney Powell was in the neighborhood so she stopped by and kept me company.  There were 3 boys there getting their hair cut, and we had a great conversation about comic books and super hero movies.  They said their dad had been showing them the old Batman TV series on DVD. Good job!  Luckily I had my iPad with me so I could show them photos of my collection.  They were very intrigued with certain things they saw, including The Creature From The Black Lagoon.  They said, \u201cWho\u2019s that?!\u201d  I said, \u201cYou haven\u2019t seen The Creature??!!\u201d  I\u2019m sure their dad is going to show them the film now!  Brittney and I went to grab dinner at Jerry\u2019s Famous Deli, and then I headed home to do some work.  I recorded a TON of auditions, and some more tracks for Go 96.3.  I made a sandwich and some soup and retired to watch another \u201cBatman\u201d episode.<\/p>\n

Friday the 29th \u2013 TYLENOL P – M I TIRED! \u2013<\/span> Before going to sleep Friday morning at 8am I took 2 Tylenol PM pills because my back was hurting.  I woke up at 2 to let the maids in and ended up sleeping on the couch the entire time they cleaned!  When they left I slept some more.  I got up around 7:30 to feed Spook and Roxy, but then laid back down again until my pal Boz showed up at 10 to do some filming around Planet Wallywood for an upcoming webseries we\u2019re doing. (More on that later!)  After he left, I laid down on the couch again and slept until 2am!  I guess not doing any drugs and never drinking alcohol has made me a total lightweight when it comes to things like Tylenol PM!  From now on, if I need it, I\u2019m only taking 1 pill and not 2. WOW!  I don\u2019t like feeling drowsy the next day like this.  I worked around the house and tried to shake it off.  I needed to get some groceries for my Saturday night movie night, so I headed to the 24 hour grocery store around 3am, made my purchases and headed over to my neighborhood Denny\u2019s to get some food to go.  They had been closed about a week for renovations, and WOW did the place look different!  I got home and unloaded the groceries, and enjoyed my Denny\u2019s with another \u201cBatman\u201d episode.<\/p>\n

Saturday the 30th \u2013FUN WITH FILMS AND FRIENDS! \u2013<\/span> It was mid-afternoon before I finally rose from my \u201ccrypt.\u201d  It was VERY warm outside, so I put on a fan in my living room.  I could tell that Roxy and Spook were warm too, because they were lying in front of the fan.  At that point I decided that maybe I\u2019d crank on the AC for a bit.  I was going to have a house full of people later that evening for movie night and I didn\u2019t want them to be uncomfortable.  It was a great movie night.  My old pal Edi was in town and brought her fianc\u00e9 Elliot over to tour my house and have dinner.  Elliot was the lead singer of the group Looking Glass in the 70\u2019s and I love their music.  Through me Edi and Elliot met and they\u2019re going to eventually be moving to Palm Springs so Edi can start her career in real estate.  Now that I have a good friend who sells houses there\u2026maybe I\u2019ll find myself in the market for a small second home someday soon. Hmmm\u2026who knows?  I sure do love it there!  We watched the movie \u201cGravity\u201d on Blu Ray and it sure was stunning!  When my guests left I cleaned up the house, worked on inputting some more stuff into my database, and labeled and edited some of the personal log recordings I do for posterity and family history.  I made one of my killer salads and watched a few episodes of \u201cPee Wee\u2019s Playhouse\u201d on Blu Ray before bed.<\/p>\n

Sunday the 31st \u2013 ANOTHER WEEK DOWN! \u2013<\/span> The pets and I lounged around all afternoon like the lazy beasts we are.  I got up and got ready for evening church with Roxy.  The speaker for the service was from\u2026PALM SPRINGS!  Boy, I just can\u2019t get away from it!  It was a beautiful night and I enjoyed walking home and enjoying the weather.  I checked some e-mails and then met up with my pal Emily for dinner at DuPar\u2019s.  That hot turkey sandwich sure did taste good!  I came back to grab a quick nap on the couch and then spent the rest of the night doing auditions and e-mailing them into my agents.  I made some Buffalo Mac with the chicken strips I got from Denny\u2019s a few nights earlier (it\u2019s diced buffalo chicken with diced celery in Kraft Mac \u2018N\u2019 Cheese\u2026YUM!) and boy was it good!  I enjoyed while watching another Batman episode on Blu Ray.<\/p>\n

And how was YOUR week??!!<\/p>\n

On a hot Saturday afternoon, Roxy relaxes in front of her “biggest fan!”<\/p>\n

Great minds think alike. On a warm Saturday afternoon, both animals take their turn lounging in front of the cool fan.
