x2. I have both of his movies and watch them frequently. It is amazing what that man could and would do. I had never seen that short film. Thanks for posting.

What a great film. I have spent a good bit of time walking the John Muir Trail this last year. Nothing like getting away from all the madness that is city life. Winter is another story. Next Spring its off to go gold panning at the foot of the Colorado Rockies. Get ready Jamin Mayer, Im coming back with a mule and a crazy beard.

It started out as Colon Cancer. She's filled with it now, living her last days with her boy jim454 at her side. It's hard but being with her has been good.
Prayers appreciated from my TB homies.
