We've been hanging the group's paintings all around the house in preparation for the show and reception. We've already sold a few.

There is so much joy and life in Ellen's art. I knew we would be happy with the painting.

We wanted to do a bed-and-breakfast for years. We wanted to make a change in our lives and do our own thing. It's very demanding. There's always something to be done, whether or not you have guests at that moment.

On this life you will act like a scientist,you need to keep experimenting and do some mistakes, but in the end you will find out how to make things so perfect ...

The first half of the season is your preparation for district. Our main objective is No. 1 to win a district and that's our objective at the beginning of the year. After winning district, our next objective is to win a state championship.

[Not surprisingly, a lot of preparation went into getting all of the actors playing the members of the firm ready for the fight scenes. Explained Wood,] I had to train a lot. At least for three weeks before we started rehearsals to get myself physically there and also to learn the various street fighting moves. It was physically demanding. It was definitely a challenge on that level. ... The training was incredible. We'd go and work out with Pat Johnson for four or five hours every day. He had most of those lads throwing up, he was working them so hard. We'd do basic strength and fitness training for about two hours and then we'd start choreographing the fight sequences. And then we'd go into the afternoon and rehearse, and then go out in the evening and start drinking? which is probably why the next morning people were throwing up.
