Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all! Here's wishing you all a most joyous time of the year with loved ones, partaking in worthwhile pursuits together that will add to quality in your lives! I just received my best present this season -- a clean bill of health from my doctor after a most depressing phase. This calls for much thanksgiving and rejoicing!

And you think you want to act

Whew! Two whole days of takes under the hot sun at a playground and then in an apartment. And at least one more day of shooting to make up for lost sunshine hours and rainy weather --- all towards a mere 5-minute film showing! Now, I'm going to look at movies - good, mediocre and bad - with a different eye! No joke. Acting, directing, cinematography, scripting and all are tough work!! But being involved in the daughter's coursework was fun, and I get to interact with young minds. Having the sons and other daughter as fellow actors/actresses/calafares made for unusual but good bonding time.
