	Your recent post suggested that you were pretty 
much exhausted when "Crusade" was in production (after
Babylon 5 and the TNT suits its amazing you didn't just 
collapse).  However, with all the new projects underway
(Rising Star, Secret Project, B5:Rangers and the possibility 
of a Crusade revival) won't your workload be even greater than 
ever? and thus risking serious burnout.

	I enjoy what I do, but I can only take so much.

Not at all, because I haven't been doing the B5 production fandango for the
last 5 years nonstop.  And the workload, at least at this point, looks like
it's going to dovetail quite well....

To explain: we shoot the Rangers MOW May/June.  The other (still TWCBN, alas)
series would begin prep July/August, and (labor relations permitting) shoot
right after Labor Day (I just realized how appropriate that is...that's damned
funny).  

Shooting the 20 hours involved in The Other Project will take us through
January, maybe into early February.  If Rangers goes as a series, we'd probably
start shooting in February/March.  We've even discussed having crew going from
one project to the other, and just rotating between them.
