Time for another David Lee Smith post...

It's that time of year again -- time for the new season of TV to begin -- and that means I'm on the lookout for David Lee Smith in, well, anything. My biggest hope is, as always, CSI:Miami -- David plays Rick Stetler, an occasional character who ought to be on there every week, as far as I'm concerned. Here's where I make another plea for CSI: New Orleans. Or CSI: Atlanta. Or CSI:Houston.

I did get a thrill during the summer, though, when David popped up in the Hallmark movie, Mending Fences -- and was in almost every scene. Although the movie was set in Nevada, David's southern accent slipped through -- and that's always a bonus -- especially for someone like me who talks just like he does. I think I actually heard him say "git" in this movie -- my dream is to hear the words "fixin' to" come out of his mouth.

I'm working on a story right now in which I use David as my muse -- which mostly means I use the way he looks (including Mr. Mole), the way he sounds -- but next to nothing about his private life -- which I know very little about, anyway -- other than a tidbit or two which nobody but another fangurl would even get. Not sure if the story will go the distance -- it's too early to tell. And, oh, yeah, I'm setting it in Birmingham. That would be 'Bama, y'all.

Anyway, I'm posting this today because it's David's birthday -- so happy birthday, wherever you are. I hope you're working on something that will be on my TV screen very, very soon -- I do go into withdrawal, you know.
