Time flies. We're all big Big Screen fans over here. Here's to two more years. (Hopefully more.)

A good man has died

Life is an uncertain business, that's for sure. When you think about it, most things in our lives are not in our control. Even our own bodies are outside of our control. We can't make our hearts beat, we can't make our lungs breathe. And the things we take for granted such as electricity, water, cars, government, food at the grocery store... none of them is in our control. Remember the big blackout a couple of years ago. How much control did we have over that? Mostly we're only passengers on this world. Re: Graham... why don't you honor him by having that dinner, and having it annually. I think it's a fantastic idea. And with you hosting and David cooking/co-hosting, it would be wonderful.

Tijuana nightclub shooting occurs in broad daylight

I like going down there for the excitement of being in another country, another culture. As I'm not a drug dealer, user, or smuggler... and because I'm too poor to be a kidnapping target, I feel pretty safe. And I've never been pulled over in many trips.
