The third movie we have seen in a row that ends without a resolution, but I guess that’s the point. Nevertheless, I’m a big Michael Shannon fan and liked it.

insta from henry james on Vimeo. #1: Grow LA Fashion Insider, Inc. Ah, the elusive number one. The good news is that our buying service is up year to date. The bad news is that the production side of our business has torpedoed the profits. Although we continue to implement new strategies, profits have declined for the fourth year in a row. We still…

If you like movies about grief, then this is your movie.

Started the day off showing Brit’s boyfriend LA. Celebrated Devin’s 26th at Lucky Strike Bowling Ally in Hollywood. Finished the night in an abandoned warehouse in downtown LA.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Georgeanne’s plate remained unused as the flu kept her in bed for most of the day and night. But with Dad and Rosie’s help, she prepared a perfect feast.  

Happy birthday, Devin.

It’s a Wrap

IMG_2188 from henry james on Vimeo. Brittany ended her season with a 0-0 double overtime tie.  An apropo ending as soccer is about little victories made in the middle. I was surprised that I was mostly able to keep my emotions in check. After all, last night was likely the conclusion of a seventeen year shared experience with my daughter. While the sport offered…
