The annual Washington D.C. school trip ended late Friday night, but once again it provided many of us, especially the 42 children who attended, a most memorable experience. We took the Capitol Tour, witnessed the Twilight Tattoo, took pictures outside the White House, visited a few Smithsonian museums, the Library of Congress, the National Archives and treked to eleven outside memorials, Ford’s Theatre and opened the trip by stopping first in Philadelphia, where we saw the Liberty Bell and the Continental Congress building. My own legs and feet are mighty sore. On the middle day of the trip (Thursday) we logged in over nine miles.
Progress on the editing of Irish Jesus of Fairview continues, but a final publican date remains inconclusive right now.
The Seventh Annual Allan Fish Online Film Festival will launch on Sunday, May 28th with an opening post by project founder, Jamie Uhler. Then, in succession the following people will present their own write-ups: Patricia Perry (May 29th); Joel Bocko (May 30th); Sachin Gandhi (May 31st); Marilyn Ferdinand (June 1st); J.D. Lafrance (June 2nd); Susanne Campbell (June 3rd); Robert Hornak (June 4th); Robert Butler (June 5th); Sam Juliano (June 6th). Right now, those ten (10) participants constitute the full writing contingent, but should anyone else wich to contribute we can easily just add them near the end. Many thanks to all who were able to participate this year, and to those who would like to have contributed but couldn’t quite manage to.
Lucille, young Sammy, Jeremy and I saw the fabulous documentary, It Ain’t Over, which movingly chronicled the life of Yankee catching legend Yogi Berra at the Teaneck multiplex on Saturday night. Rating: 4.5 of 5.0.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
