Eating from the Garden

I love to eat from the garden

So many articles have been declaring the pesticides in all the fresh foods that I am grateful I have my own garden to eat from.

Today I consumed a wonderful smoothie, made by Paul, of strawberries and raspberries from the garden. I also harvested anther bell pepper from my plant that I started in my greenhouse this winter.

Dad's Home

Waiting for Dad

The sound of frogs, the smell of willows--I'm by the creek in the depression within a willow "fort" reading a book, that's the perfect summer day for me as a child. I look at the sun and realize Dad's going to be home soon. 

Run home, drop the book in the house and go out to wait. I know Dad's car will be pulling in soon. It rounds the corner to the special place he parks. Run to the car. Now he gets out and I hug him. I take his lunch box and walk with him to the house. Dad's home.

Sundance Directors Labs Again

Actors give directors character to work with. Directors help you as an actor find new levels. What a great synergistic relationship. The Sundance Directors Lab 2012 has infused me with new energy. Look at the announcement for their line up of great directors:

Sundance Directors Lab Participants

I don't mind reviews. Not so thrilled about critics, but understand their thread. I love my work and it's honest. So I don't really need validation but when it comes from an unexpected source  you know your work is effective. Thanks to Ian Calderon for taking his time to chat with me about performance, love of the earth and work.

Sundance Directors Labs

It has been a fun, fantastic acting session this year at the Directors Labs. I had the opportunity to work with two great directors not to mention their fantastic crew members. 

I worked with both Ariel Kleiman and Mariell Heller. For Ari I played an assassin and for Mari I was a recruiter of prosititues for a group of women friends. How much more fun can it be to work back to back days with the same dialog and have it be a completely different "life."

Redemption

Here is a nice review of the movie Redemption previously known as For Robbing the Dead.

Robins

It was in January when I saw my first Robin of the season. That's pretty typical for here in SLC.

Right now all the parents are feeding the young ones in our apple tree. We had two out of the nest early on.

I like to watch them up there. But I remember last year was very much the same.

Here's a clip from last year's Robins "doings."
