Homework
I get asked all the time, "What's it like working at home?"
Working at home is like being Colt Severs all the time, except I don't have a ranch, big truck, sidekick or Heather Thomas lounging around in a bikini. And while I offer a diverse range of services to my clients -- much like Colt, who was both a stuntman and a bounty hunter -- the contracts don't involve fisticuffs, being shot at or stabbed. Sometimes I have to deal with Markie Post.
Or maybe it's not.
Working at home is is like being J.B. Jeffries from Rear Window all the time, except I've never witnessed a murder, my camera is digital and Grace Kelly isn't lounging around in an evening gown. But I do know many of my neighbours, at least to say hello. I've never hired hired a housekeeper, like Thelma Ritter, but I toy with the idea from time to time, just to have someone around to annoy me.
Actually, working at home is a lot like being Jeff Lebowski all the time, except the only thing that pees on my rug is the cat, I don't bowl and I've never sired the spawn of some rich woman ...
Working here at home is a lot like being Rick from Casablanca all the time ... or Rick from Blade Runner all the time. Except I never have to deal with Nazi Replicants , Sean Young, unrequited love or Peter Lorre. But I'm always on the computer ...
Nevermind, I'm back at the start. I'm Colt Severs again!
It's a death defyin' life I lead,I take my chances.
I die for a livin' in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leadin' ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee.
I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand new car.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.
