It is neither the Bluebird of happiness or the national bird of England. We, of course, know that to be the European Robin. It is a Idaho Pileated Woodpecker seeking refuge from a snowstorm under a tree at a friends house. The other snap is of my friends from the UK. They are watching myContinue reading “Bluebird of Englishers? 10 Mar 2010.”

Mr Potzer directs. 8 Mar 2010.
My friend Aldo Muira was in town. So we met and discussed all things filmic – leading to the conclusion that he was, as Stanley Kubrick once said, a potzer. ¡Arrivederci Roma! ¡¡(You Potzerria)!!

Please allow me to introduce… 21 Feb 2010.
The Covington post below is there – because I’m working on a screenplay. I’ve been using these posts as sort of a vehicle/marker of sorts to log certain thoughts. Right. My thoughts from yesterday. But, anyway(s), there is a climbing scene in the screenplay – and – yes- that’s why it’s posted here (and there)..Continue reading “Please allow me to introduce… 21 Feb 2010.”

Cov. 16 Feb 2010.

A friend in Santa Fe just sent these snaps from the opening night screening of my film ‘chasing KEINO’ at the Santa Fe Film Festival. These are the Kenyan runners – the principals in my film, at the Jean Cocteau Theatre, on opening night. The Kenyans are delightful to hang out with – very cool.Continue reading “Where’s the Love?13 Feb 2010.”

DT. 2 Feb 2010.
Thomas had refused to talk to the media in the week leading up to Dallas’ 24-3 win over Miami in Super Bowl VI. After the Cowboys’ win, Brookshier stood next to the running back, talking about his speed and building up to this question: “Are you that fast?” “Evidently,” Thomas replied. But there was anotherContinue reading “DT. 2 Feb 2010.”
