I'm sitting here watching the 12/12/12 benefit when it dawned on me..Jersey Shore/Trishah!!! I immediately broke out the laptop and was relieved to see she made out all right. Been away too long from here. Great to see Sven, Cissy, Lily and Save all here...the beat goes on. We did ok, lost power for 2 weeks and had some very close calls with giant trees just missing my humble house. Several of my friends on the south shore saw major flooding of their ground floors and three of my co-workers lost their homes outright. My brother's in-laws built their dream home on Breezy Point and haven't been allowed back to survey their flood damage. All things considered we are all blessed that there were so few deaths...property can always be replaced or rebuilt.
I was just thinking the other day that I need more poetry in my life and now I remember where to find it! Love Sven's and Lily's choices...Got some catching up to do! Peace and love to all as the holidays approach. I'll be lurking around here.

Sven..that is Venus traversing the sun as shot by me from an HD television camera in centerfield at Yankee Stadium. The clouds cleared for about a minute and I zoomed in to the sun and with the help of a great video technician we were able to get this shot. A tape technician in the truck snapped this picture of a monitor which had my shot in it...pretty cool!

I got this shot from a centerfield tv camera at Yankee Stadium. The eastern seaboard wasn't supposed to be able to see this due to cloud cover but there was suddenly a 60 second opening in the clouds at the exact right time. With the help of an awesome video guy and an excellent tape guy, we got the shot!

Svennn! I knew someone must still be around!
Whenever I have posted a youtube video here, I need to preview it and then post it before it takes hold.

I'm very conflicted about watching the remaining "Luck" episodes in my DVR.(I'm 3 behind) I probably will, but am not looking forward to the anger and disappointment sure to follow the final episode. I'm wondering if it might be better to wrap it all up now and just be sad, rather than seeing it through and then wondering for years about "what might have been". Either way, HBO is exiting my life for good this time. I have grown to hate TrueBlood over the years and would actually be rooting for Russell (the ancient vampire) to kill off the whole cast, especially Sookie.

You would think that with all the great scripts and acting, they would find a way to shoot around the races. Mechanical/latex horse torsos have been used in Seabiscuit, Braveheart, etc. throughout the years. While I admire Milch and Mann's "authentic" shooting of the race sequences, I am more impressed with the acting, dialogue and character development. I am always more impressed with plot, than I am with special EFX. There is much more going on here than just 3 horse deaths. Milch and HBO are poison when coupled.
