Reconnecting

Rock on, Fernando Meirelles was nominated for a Best Director Oscar for “City of God.” One of the three movies I saw in 2003 that I plan to own.

I saw my friend Roy last night for the first time in years. When I was young we spent so much time wandering through drainage ditches and having adventures. I went traveling with him and his family during many summers. Some of my favorite stories come from my time with him. He left his staff position with Representative Cramer to go work at NASA as the Strategic Outreach Planner in the Government Community Relations Department. I felt my enthusiasm for adventure and exploration welling up in me as we talked over dinner. Hopefully soon I’ll get to see Yancey, the person who truly helped usher me into a lifelong love for movies. I was 11 or 12 and he was pushing Chinatown, Taxi Driver, The Exorcist, Serpico, The Godfather I & II, Once Upon a Time in America and so much more on me. Roy has kept in touch with Yancey regularly as the decades have flown by. Listening: (none)
