"I'm sincerely curious about how you found the experience of directing
your baby -- of being responsible for creating, writing, producing
*and* directing it."

My main goal was not to embarrass myself overmuch. I think I
came out okay. I've now seen an editor's assembly of the material, and
it plays real nice. Now I get to go in and make the director's cut,
which will to all intents and purposes also stand as the producer's
cut.

The main thing is...this one is *exactly* the way I saw it in my
head. It has a somewhat different feel than prior episodes, though hard
to quantify. But I think it came out nicely.
