I quick blogger update. Last week I held my movie fundraiser for the DeMolay youth group and it was very successful. We raised over $400 and had at least 50 people show up for the event. It was really awesome transforming the Troy lodge into a movie theatre. I placed my 11ft diagonal tripod screen in the North of the lodge and sat everyone in the South. My cartoons were very well received as was the feature film. It was definately a great idea for a fund raiser since everyone had a lot of fun and we raised quite a bit of money. My next big movie showing is going to be in my home. On Saturday, October 22 I am going to be sponsoring the Saturday Night Screening Room. The Saturday Night Screening Room is my movie collectors club. I will be showing my breathtaking 16mm print of "Beetlejuice" for Halloween. You are all welcome and invited, just let me know if you can come. My other bit of news is that I finally conned my company into sending me on a trip to Zurich. I will be leavi...

Check out my new lodge. I am planning on getting a dual membership in the Napthali Lodge #25 which meets at the New Temple, 3861 Lindell Boulevard. This building is simply staggering in its beauty and is very rich in history. I never pictured myself being part of any kind of 'historical preservation' effort before. However, this building is so amazing that it would break my heart to see it lost. It is truly a National Treasure. -------------------------------------- Ok, I need to add to this post because something is really hitting me. I have had a recurring dream for well over a decade. I have the dream very infrequently, but each time I have it is seems extremely profound. It is never the same in detail but always the same in theme. And the theme is quite basic. I find myself exploring a huge building that has room, after room, after room; each one a marvel of creative design. And each time I turn a corner something new is revealed to both dazzle and amaze. My dream became re...
I haven't bumped my blog in a while. There just wasn't much I felt like saying after dealing with the funeral and all of that. However, in time, you move on with your life and try to keep Steven's memory alive by living life the way he did; full of joy, love, and happiness. He was so much fun to be around that everyone gravitated to him just to feel that joy. It is now our responsibility to live our lives the same way. Last evening I went to the Cardinals game with Marty and his family. Unfortunately I had to leave after the bottom of the 7th inning because Alex has to get up very early for school in the morning. It would have been almost another hour if we had stayed till the end of the game. That's ok, it was still a fun evening and I got to listen to the big finish while driving in my car. David Eckstein hit a single to end the game in the bottom of the 9th; sending everyone else home happy. Just a reminder, I am having my first big movie showing on Saturday e...
