Computer Issues And Great Beach Days

I had to send my notebbok back to HP yesterday. It's a facory recall. Hopefully, it will be returned to me in about a week. IN the meantime it's been great out here at the beach. The weather is warm and the water is warm, which has been great for spending time at the beach and swimming. Today we're attending a film festival in Ocean Beach, about an hour and a half walk to the West. Tomorrow we'll be seeing the annual Dancers Responding To AIDS benefit performance in The Pines. This is one of the highlights of the season. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

A Highly Recommended Film

"Imaginary Heroes" was the best film that Dan and I saw yesterday at the 5th Annual Golden Wagon Film Festival in Ocean Beach. It's a coming of age story, a profile of a seriously dysfunctional suburban family, an intimate portrait of a wife and mother dealing with her troubled marriage, the death of her eldest son, and much more. The script was written by then 22 year old Dan Harris, who at age 25 also directed the film. Apparently, it was never released into wide circulation, or we missed it if it was. I would highly recommend it.
