Michele 1 #1 January 28, 2003 So as my Dad's 80th birthday has come and gone, whenever he wants to spend some time, I find a way to do it. He can get really busy, but rarely will more than 5 days go by without us talking several times. My father recently finished a co-star role in a student film by an unknown Israeli director - he didn't really want to do it, but we talked, and as it was a very different role (not finding watches in the trash, nor running around nekkie on Everybody Loves Raymond) as the Grandfather to a boy about to be bar mitzvah'ed, he decided to do it. And what a run it's been, especially for a student film. The director nailed this one, and so did my Dad. So far, it's been in 8 film festivals, including NY, and Dad was invited to Israel for it's premier there - although he didn't go because of the turmoil. Next week, there's a festival in La Jolla (just north of San Diego), so he is going down for that. Dad decided to tell them to get a room for me, and to bring me along Why am I telling you? Because I am very proud of my father, and am tickled that this li'l film is getting some well-deserved publicity and acclaim. Dad is my rock, and he, simply, rawks. He did a long telephone interview this afternoon with a local paper (a San Diego one), so if someone could keep an eye out for it and post a link, I'd appreciate it greatly... Anyway, thanks for letting me brag about my Dad. And please look for the article and post. He'd love to get a copy of it, even if it's just on-line.

wmw999 2,545 #4 January 28, 2003 Michele, that's awesome! Have a great weekend, and I know you will ' Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #8 January 28, 2003 cool. Don't know what to do in La Jolla, too rich for my blood, (right now) (plot/scheme) ahhh, you could always walk around. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
