(click on it to see full size) Sirdar posted his and I couldn’t resist. You can do yours here. Other folks that I didn’t include on this collage are Strom Thurmond, Aidan Quinn, and Adrian Smith. I thought Jude Law was a shoe-in! Celebrity look alike #1, Celebrity look alike #2 without hair and Celebrity … [Read more…]
So. I walk out of the office this afternoon. Pull out my keys to unlock my bike and someone has jammed something into the lock so that the key can not be used. Fortunately I have a metal saw on my Swiss Army Knife. Seven Long Minutes. Spent 3 long days this week handing out … [Read more…]

We’ve been living in Guatemala for one year. Feels like a year, no more, no less.

I had the opportunity to present the film and conduct a question and answer period afterward where nearly everyone stayed and participated. … [Read more…]
