(Mistake: The writer came to my house for this interview. I joked around with her about "not having to go find a minimum wage job, because of the (temporary) Reynolds gig"... she added it as serious/earnest comment, which it was not. I was just kidding! Lesson learned, no joking around with journalists! Arrrg.)
