Linda, the only thing fowl was your pun. You should be tarred and feathered. You are correct the drugstore was indeed in Port, as was my "local". I guess Great Neck was just too upscale.

The two days of shooting was a real hoot. I got the full star treatment. "Great shot! You look fabulous!" Brilliant!" The people from the agency were great and I loved meeting the art director, since all our previous contact was over the telly (see I'm getting the hang of British twang!) However, I did a lot of sitting around and waiting for them to set things up and now can really appreciate how boring it could be on the other side of the lens. All and all, it was fun.

Patty, we'll see how it all turns out. I have my doubts whether blokes surfing the web in search of beer are my target audience. But then again, no such thing as bad publicity. And I'll have another interesting story for the grandkids (when and if my sons comply!) Time will tell.
