I’ve recounted that story probably dozens of times over the years. And the filmmakers probably should have gotten the real Nails to play himself. He could use the paycheck, right?

I had to go online and read Becky some passages from the Mets camp with Lenny Dykstra. That’s the good stuff.

Something about the coconut. Not a lot of people like mounds candybars either and would rather buy a snickers.

Amazing scene with a guy playing a saw – how many movies have that?! This is the music from this scene on the composer’s website http://www.scottmunsonmusic.com/news/music-in-film-another-earth-soundtrack

New Adventures in Hi-Fi was my senior year if high school/freshman year of college soundtrack. And I remember you defending their later albums with a pain on your face like you knew you were lying to yourself.

Oasis…you’re on the clock.

(just Brendan calls me so as a joke;-))
It’s true I pushed Karina to pass level 1 because she told me she wanted to be a good swimmer. She is also tough enough to be pressured by me.

I just wish that they got a lifeguard license and at the time of their college student, they would come back here to be a lifeguard during summer.
