i saw several bottles of fine wine the other day at home - and only today found out the story behind it.
a friend of my dad's, only about 50 years old, had suddenly discovered he had terminal lung cancer, apparently coming out of nowhere - terence was not a smoker, he exercised. he had just passed away a few weeks back.
his wife had kindly shared the wine with us, telling us that terence was had been a lover of fine wine, and wanted to share his collection with his friends after his passing away.
i just wanted to write about this small story. at times i have wondered about what it would be like to own a really nice wine collection. it is just really unfortunate that terence, in his last days, probably was not able to enjoy the collection he had so painstakingly built up over the years.
just... think about that for a moment.
my sincere condolences to his family. i hope his spirit soars high.

(nope, not touched up at all. yes, the clouds could be even more dramatic, but this is straight from the cam!)

was in SF for a bit... missing out on a bit of the summer parties. went to a yoga thing (story for some other time) and some pix...
the teacher is dharma mittra, an incredible 69-year old yogi.

this was a quote my colleague mentioned to me the other day. he read it from syd field's book, but i don't quite know where the original came from. and i think most ppl who are in film know precisely what it means... (yup, u can always count on me to be the news bearer of doom and gloom). but the key is to remain optimistic, as always!
and i think this speech by Mark Gill, posted
here, is a must-read (for film folks). whether u agree with him or not.
