Hi, everyone!  Greetings from beautiful Lake Texoma!

Well, as you can tell it’s been kind of a quiet week around the TSL Bunker.  We’re all still recovering from October!  However, that quiet is about to end.  Not only is Awards Season rapidly approaching but my DVR has so many things recorded that it’s going to explode if I don’t start watching some of it.

In other words, starting next week, it’s going to be all about getting caught up with the films and recording of 2019!  As you can tell by looking below, I’ve already gotten off to a fairly good start.

Finally, my birthday was this Saturday.  A new year has begun.  Through the Shattered Lens’s birthday will be in December.  This site will be 10 years old!  I’m currently making all sorts of plans for how we’re going to celebrate being a decade old.  I promise you this: you’re going to love what we have in store for 2020.
