Slapshot, just about anything from John Huston or John Ford...
Funniest thing since the last one, my newborn is now registered for full-day preschool in the spring and he's got a younger sister who'll be 2 in August. The world is fun.

So Moe is sort of the new touring band, or so my wives college students tell her. She got some instant street cred when should told them that we used to go to UB house parties where Moe was headlining the basement. Of course they sucked then.
This it seams gets her wider credibility than when she used to tell her students that I used to play cello with Ani Difranco, which only worked with the lesbians.

I can smell Broadway Joe's as I'm typing this. Lots of miles (and hair) were put on my old '86 Jetta between '96 and 2000. I fondly recall eating an apple from the Fillmore in the back seat when we drove out to SF for Thanksgiving in '99. Sorry to reminisce...but wow, those were healthy days for the human spirit.
