My goal is mid-March. At my age, I am done with cold and snow. I left the midwest for Hollywood in 2004, and found LA to be tough in Jan and Feb, with 50°F temps, in uninsulated buildings, that more often than not did not have heating.

A US citizen with passport can visit the UK for 6 months. Other European countries for 3 months. So if I am there from March-September, or April-October, the weather should be temperate.

Airfares are very reasonable from where I am now in Florida. Lodging in the UK so far is a little high by US standards. I can stay in nice fully-furnished hotels, with kitchen, TV, utilities and Internet, here for $25USD/night. So far in the UK, the lodging prices are too high at $50USD/night in some comparison.

I have a long list of actors and models - and photographers - to shoot with, in 35 different cities. I plan to travel to about 6 of those cities, to meet up with as many models as time and budget - and their travel ability - allow.

As a one-man shop, the Internet allows me to do this. But it also begs the question now and then about being a one-man everything in terms of planning, shooting, producing and selling my finished book and DVD products always on my own. And in the context of periodic threads here on the topic of: "If you would die tomorrow, what would happen to your stuff?".

I've got 12 active VOD and tangible goods revenue partners who sell my products, while 8 or so have gone by the dump over the past 2-3 years. I keep looking for more - especially the long elusive goal of having paysite(s) based on both my erotic and non-erotic content niches.

One thing interesting is that I spent 3 weeks writing a java code feature to my handwritten SQL/PHP address book, to create a Google Map showing where everyone in my address book is located. Fascinating, and useful tool.

I still have 6-10 weeks to make this happen.
