The Perils of Co-Writing
My husband is an actor. Of sorts. Julio has been background or stand-in for Arnold, Sylvester, Brad, Jason (Statham and Momoa), and pretty much all of the biggies.
He has also done theater where he was dressed as the Easter Bunny, as well as has numerous indie films (translation, mostly unpaid) under this belt. The last indie film he was in took 3rd place at the New Orleans 48-Hour Film

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND TAPED CONFESSIONS
For those whose writing includes police procedure, particularly in the area of confessions or police interviews, there is new policy out there just decided by the Justice Department, that requires certain federal agencies, such as the FBI, DEA, ATF, and Marshals Service, to use electronic recording to video record "interviews" of suspects.
Keep in mind, this is on a federal level, not state

Three Old Guys at McDonald's by Marilyn (aka F.M.) Meredith
At Oak Tree Press Booth at Wordstock
Confession. Hubby and I frequent McDonald’s often. I love their vanilla flavored iced-coffee though I always ask for two extra shots of the vanilla.
McDonald’s is a good place for a potty stop when you’re on a trip and there’s no rest stops around. TMI? Well, it’s the truth.
It’s also a good place for a quick breakfast when headed out of town on a trip.
