Isn't it a goodie? I expect youse all to roll up your sleeves and knuckle down. I wonder where the full list of the master's films appears. Our showing in the last competition was very praiseworthy, though now the great Bill Greenwell is one of us all things are possible. His and Frank McDonald's (not yet one of us) efforts are awesome, but Frank Osen (didn't I say?) and I aren't so bad at all.

No I'm off to Bill's website to see what wonders there are manifest.

Oh, and since you ask, I'm loving it in Texas. Sam's students are bright, Sam's cooking is to die for and I've now seen many a mocking bird.
