Too Late Baby...
Well I forgot about this blog but will try to be more attentive moving forward. Though Facebook and Twitter and work and family sometimes seems to be enough.

Film Fests
After our debut in February/March at Sedona, and the “Best Comedy Short” award in LA at the International Family Film Festival, The Day My Parents Became Cool will finally be screening in Seattle!
We are an official selection of the 35th Seattle International Film Festival!
You can see us in the press release at www.seattlefilm.com/about/news/detail.aspx?NID=158%26year=2009. Specific dates and times are TBD, but we will be screening on weekend of May 29-31, 2009. We will screen in the new state-of-the-art SIFF Cinema at Seattle Center, where all formats are brilliantly projected. SIFF is an Oscar-eligibility-nominating festival (winning films become eligible for Academy voting) – so hopefully we’ll fill the house with motivated Parents’ fans! SIFF is the largest and most well-attended film festival in the United States with 150,000 attendees expected in 2009. With extensive local, national and international media coverage, SIFF is frequently included among the top 10 film festivals in the world.
But wait, there’s more…

The other day and more to come
The other night my wife Sam and I watched The Bucket List which we both found most enjoyable. Nicholson and Morgan Freeman did outstanding jobs with their roles as aging cancer patients. Terminal illness. We are born terminal I read somewhere twice. It is just a question of when we die.
A few days later I was talking with my brother who lives in MN about how he liked the movie as well.
We went on to discuss aging in all its glory. I made a comment that it is hard to go from being a thoroughbred (youth) to being a plow horse (40 something).
He said that at least you're still a horse and not glue. Hmmm.
