Wayne headed back to Portland today. He rivals Rob in his ability to defer to others, so when I told him I could take him to the Blue Lagoon today, he said, “Oh, that’s okay. I don’t really want to go.”

I couldn’t shake him from this. So, Rob ran him out to the airport and I sat around set waiting.

Today was one of the slow days. I was used in one shot. That was a fun one actually. Bessie had to go through set carrying a number of props. Normally we’d raise the set but because of the other scenes they had to shoot at that location it would have taken too much time. So Julie and I rolled through set on the family-sized puppet dolly. It’s a big flat cart that’s pulled with ropes. We just lie on it and get pulled around. Remember when you were a kid and someone pulled you in a wagon? It’s about as close to that as you can get and earn a paycheck.

This was before Wayne left. After he left, I studied my Icelandic lesson. The thing I couldn’t get him to believe was that we only get to go to the Blue Lagoon when we have company. And we like going. I was sad that I didn’t get to go today.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of my visitors.
