OK. Got your attention. Everything IS on this one, folks. If you like to watch...if you like to listen, there's something here for you, and probably for your great-grandkids, too (yeah - you, too, even if you are in your 30s, 20s or younger).

At long last, the film that Suzanne Jurva and I produced, directed and wrote for the Library of Congress about its amazing new audiovisual preservation center in Culpeper, Virginia, is online.

If you are a movie, TV or music buff, you should know about this place. No other country can touch the ongoing cultural preservation efforts at our Library of Congress. There's nothing like the LOC's National Audiovisual Preservation Center anywhere else in the world.

Our good friend, Suzanne Hogan, special assistant to the Librarian of Congress, shepherded this from gestation to delivery. Beautiful camera work by Washington, DC-based DP/Camera, Julio Luzquinos. In LA, keen eye camera work provided by Andrew Parke; Crispy clean Audio/grip by Matthew Engel on the east coast and by Danny Lanham on the west; Production Design/Editing by the incomparably talented and patient Chris Ross Leong. Phenomenal creativity exhibited by Multiscreen Producer: Julie Talen (yes, there are a number of themes running in those sequences); Composed by the amazing Gary Stockdale; a spot-on VO by Tudor Applen; and great natural makeup for HD by Jodi Malitsky.

Hope you like it.

FRESH HORSES FOR DESK JOCKEYS and other living people who spend too much time sitting down

"Get up and move."  We've heard it our entire lives.  Yet acting on that simple directive periodically throughout the day can do more to energize us and to enhance the quality of our lives than any other prescription we receive.  And that includes the "ones that mother gives us," the kinds we get from our doctors, and even the advice-type on diet and lifestyle that spew at us pretty much 24-7 from all kinds of sources. Everyone knows we shouldn't sit so much.  But maybe we could use a little help figuring out how to change things.  For desk jockeys, people who drive for long stretches, and for the rest of us who stare at lighted screens for extended lengths of time, check out this video that I put together with my pal, Dixon Troyer, the VP of operations and head trainer at 3 Elements Lifestyle in SoCal.   It offers up a simple, new prescription to take every 45 minutes to restore that flagging mojo caused by all that sitting down. Anyone can do it and ev

If You’re Under 18, There’s No Uber for You!

If You’re Under 18, There’s No Uber for You! Kids Need to Ride Only with Account Holders Over age 18 When Uber and Lyft came on the scene a few years ago, parents of school age kids in many American cities and suburbs breathed a sigh of relief.   Suddenly, a solution for shuttling their children to and from school and activities was always available and affordable. Parents with custody arrangements could exchange their kids without having to interact with former spouses.    Kids could get to the malls, the movies and their friends’ houses.   And kids with access to a parent’s account could even get to and from parties that they weren’t supposed to attend – without having to ask a parent or an older sibling for a ride. In the last few years, Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing services have become so ubiquitous (and inexpensive) that references to getting somewhere by using them are now by the commonly understood verbs “ubering” or “lyfting.”   As an occasional driver, I ha

The Actor's Life Was NOT for Me

If you saw “The Conspirator,” here’s my take on it and a good laugh for you - one of my first jobs in TV – researching, PA’ing, and playing John Wilkes Booth on “In Search Of…The Lincoln Conspiracy.” And, yeah, that’s MY hair. The producer curled it for me (close ups at 3:25 & 7:11). She also pasted on the crazy ‘stache. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EdCJb1RpaI&feature=related
