The following is an excerpt from my memoir Keeping the Tryst. It appears just before the end of chapter 37.~

September 10, 2001…

That night I was scheduled to work. And there were three things that I was eager to do when I got home…

The first was to call Lisa.

Secondly, I wanted to start work on writing the script for the movie. Even though I had no grasp whatsoever of crafting a screenplay.

Finally, it was a big night for TheForce.net staff. We would be up all evening getting a bunch of stories about the Episode I DVD release ready to publish at midnight Pacific Time.

Lisa and I talked for a bit, then I threw a pizza into the oven and while that was cooking I started writing the first lines of what I was calling “Sithery”. It seemed as good a working title as anything.

I wrote a page and a half of what passed for a script, then logged into TheForce.net’s staff portal. There were a couple of posts that I needed to have ready, and those were done. I hung out online until 3 a.m. and saw all our work get posted.

Satisfied, I went to the sofa and crashed hard. And before going to sleep I found myself feeling pretty good. I had my own place, a job, and an amazing girlfriend whom I cared for deeply. I was writing a script for a movie. And my words were being read by tens of thousands of people each day.

I thanked God for giving me so much. And then drowsiness took me.
