I have a 'friend' who works on 'the other side of the Valley' as they say in Southern Calif. We never discuss the particulars of the work, but my friend has learned to separate what they do from who they are. Which isn't easy to do, even for a person who isn't in a high profile job. We are often tied to our profession and it's just not in the entertainment industry. I have been described as a sportswriter, journalist, athlete and columnist. I am all of those, yet I have another life as well, like we all do.
