If you've never seen this movie, it is well worth your while. I picked this up for less than $5 at Walmart. I am fast becoming a huge Jim Caviezel fan. This is an intriguing thriller with a scientific/fantasy twist. It is my official Father's Day movie for 2005!

Sunset Boulevard revisited?

As the Michael Jackson trial jurors continue their deliberations, I wonder what will become of the singer himself. His finest moments were almost a generation ago now and all he is at present is an echo of a former self but barely recognizable at that! Even if he is acquitted he is going to find it tough going to find a new relevance in a world where 15 minutes of pop music fame is a lifetime. I picture an androgynous Norma Desmond figure, haunting the halls of Neverland, crying about the loss of fan adulation while listening to tapes of past recorded glory...."She's out of my life" , "Ben", "Billie Jean".....and most poignantly,"You are not alone"!

Take a deep breath...

We're preparing to teach our summer session which will last about six weeks. We have a lot of new students which means learning some new names and connecting them with right faces. Then I have to come up with six weeks of innovative lesson plans......for which at the present moment, I'm drawing a blank!
Now I know everything will work out and that inspiration will hit me at the time that I need it, but in spite of that assurance I have to pause and take a deep breath.....
That's better!
