around New York like I did last year, I mean I could have done it any other weekend, but I guess I didn’t have any reason to. Or maybe it was because if it was for Phoebe I would be pretty pissed.

I got everything ready, including my passport, but it just wasn 't meant to be. When I went to LA for the film festival, I tried to meet Rick Ravanello, but he was too busy, and our schedules just didn 't work. I considered going down to LA this fall when Dylan Neal and Brooke Burns were on Home and Family on the Hallmark Channel, but the timing never seemed right. I used to dream about meeting Sebastian in Vancouver, but I had essentially given up on that dream ever happening…
