Our Children Are Our Future

I mentioned a few posts back

that the kids were very busy and doing fine.

A little brag fest for my journal:

 Thursday night Hannah and her friend 

Zach flew up to Portland 

for the 48 hour film project festival.

They had entered their short film in the project 

and had made it to

the final round.

Bare bones explanation:

It is what it sounds like

You and your team have 48 non stop hours

 to make a short film start to finish.

This is the text I got from her

piece by piece

Mom-Having fun ?

Hannah:

So far so good. Won best actor and actress.

Best cinematography too for a tie 

Best production design 

Best writing 

Best editing 

Best direction 

BEST ^%$#ING FILM 

Now the film enters International in Amsterdam next year.

Ben

 has been working 

on Chasing the Cure the new TNT series

with Ann Curry.

If you know anything about the show

 it is indeed very ironic,

as I am still "diagnosis free" so to speak.

Helene, Ben's fiancee

 is working countless

hours on the homeless and housing issues 

in LA which are in crisis, as they are

in many major cities.

 Tom

works a full time day job and

 most nights and weekends

is either in rehearsal or in a current play

with The Actor's Gang, Tim Robbins group

in Culver City. 

They are very busy, productive and happy.

I am so proud of these four young folk.

They bode well for our future.

Only a couple weeks till I see three of them

coming to help with sale.

Tom has a play, so we'll miss him.

The sale has taken on nightmarish

proportions. If I remember, I will try 

to get a snap of the roll out before we open.

Aren't we all incredibly proud 

of all these young people taking a stand 

today for climate change.

Dear heaven, if the "powers" would only listen..

Pretty weekend to you all.
