In the Media
So, my post is far less media-rich, I was interviewed by a Washington Post reporter and mentioned in this article on air travel problems. I told them about my 5 hour delay this weekend, which is not as bad the people stuck on the tarmac in a DELTA plane for 7 hours only to have there plane canceled! The Post found me via this website Brian found www.flyersrights.com
Why was I traveling through Ohio? Because we are moving there... But, shhh... no one at my work knows right now. Brian took an exciting job at McGraw-Hill. So if you know anyone looking to buy a condo in Jersey city... send them my way! :)

A Celtic Blessing from Anam Cara (a gaelic phrase meaning "soul friend") the book by John O'Donohue (a lovely and wonderful book with which Devin once gifted me and which I still treasure both for the thoughtful gift and the poetic beauty within)May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where there is great love, warmth, feeling and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant or cold in you.
May you be brought into the real passion, kinship and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them; may they bring you all the blessings, challenges, truth and light that you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated; but may you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam cara.
The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Welcome, Briana! ....Wishing you both

"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts (i.e. Freihoffer's chocolate sheet cake w/ white icing on 7th St. (one piece for you....one piece for me...) and Rum Cake at Lake George), hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending (i.e. keeping Uncle Bill engaged in conversation as Sista/Cuz MB crawled out the door to escape the grounding sentence), and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together". ~Erma Bombeck
Hope this is your happiest birthday ever...and only the beginning of a wonderful year that brings you a fraction of the happiness and LOVE that we have felt from you....growing up and still...We LOVE YOU!!!
Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Cowboy Devin!!!“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Devin: SU Newhouse Alumni of the Month
Devin was named the Syracuse University Newhouse School Alumni of the Month for September...realized i never posted it here so thought i'd correct it now to let everyone know! A very proud moment!
Devin Mahoney - Television, Radio and Film '04
Devin Mahoney has the ultimate job perk. He gets to work with the minds behind the Emmy-nominated comedy series, “Scrubs.”
Mahoney, a Television, Radio and Film graduate, has worked for the past two years as a Writer’s Assistant on the popular sitcom, “Scrubs,” which follows the lives of several young medical interns as they hilariously navigate their way through the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital.
“I’ve gotten to know all the stars,” he said. “Everyone is so fun and down to earth. It’s a ball.” These celebrities also include the show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, an acclaimed television writer who’s also written for such shows as “Friends” and “Spin City.”
After graduating from Newhouse in 2004, Mahoney, 27, immediately headed out to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of television and film writing and rather quickly discovered a recipe for success.
“I kind of just took my resume and faxed it to every show on TV, and then called them until they gave me an interview,” he said. “I kind of just talked my way into it.”
After working briefly for the Spike Network’s “Most Extreme Elimination Challenge,” Mahoney eventually got the call from “Scrubs,” where he now works as a Writer’s Assistant, attending the show’s regular writers’ meetings and keeping track of all the ideas tossed around.
“The thing about the writers is that most of the time they don’t actually do any of their own typing,” Mahoney said. “I pretty much sit in the writers’ room and take everything in. I take down stories, joke pitches and make sure the good stuff doesn’t go away.”
He also has the added perk of working alongside fellow Newhouse TRF Master’s alumni Ryan Kemp (’05) and Brian Davison (’05) at “Scrubs.”
“It’s kind of a Newhouse breeding ground,” Mahoney said.
Mahoney credits some of his success to the TRF program at Newhouse and particularly its faculty.
“You learn by doing in the TV business, so it’s hard to teach,” Mahoney said. “But they give you the background and teach you how the business works so when you get here you kind of understand what’s going on.”
He noted that several of his teachers in the TRF program are especially well-aware of the tools students need before getting into the real world of television and film.
“Prof. (Andrea) Asimow, she’s still involved in the business, so it was kind of fun to learn from someone doing it right now,” Mahoney said of the film business teacher. “She loved sharing her knowledge with the class.”
Michael Schoonmaker, chair of the TRF department and professor of television writing and production, was also one of Mahoney’s favorites.
“He was great because he let us make a silly movie about a hot dog vendor and a stripper, and we got a grade for it,” Mahoney said. “He gave us the stuff and let us go and figure it out on our own.”
Even though he’s only being paid to write down other people’s ideas right now, Mahoney is still working on his dream job of writing his own shows and films, a task which the Newhouse program gave him plenty of practice with.
Writing with another Newhouse alumnus, C. Rego Marquiis (’04), who also moved to Los Angeles shortly after graduating, Mahoney continues to flex his own creative muscle writing spec scripts, features and original pilots.
“We’re just trying to get our ducks in a row, get real jobs and get rich and famous, preferably rich,” he said.
For now though, Mahoney’s content just getting to absorb the techniques and ideas of those behind the critically acclaimed “Scrubs.”
“It’s the working man’s version of sitting in a comedy club all day,” he said. “You sit there and listen to people who are the best in the biz and you can’t really beat that.”
