Wenesday August 8th made it 3 years since we lost Elain. It is still quite hard for us all. We can't wait till the day that we see Elain again in the resurrection promised by Jehovah God and Jesus Christ.

This section is a tribute to my sister Elain who passed away on August 8th 2004. As much as I love my travel pictures, this isthe most cherished and important part of my entire site.

I urge everyone to go to it.

Well I am counting down the days till May 22nd!

Travel has become a great passion of mine. Not going and sitting on a beach in some resort but exotic world travel. This probably comes from seeing each of the Indiana Jones movies at least fifty times. My new Indy Jones page will be up and running soon. My first trip abroad was in 1994. It was one of those marathon 3 week trips through Europe. I went with Cosmos Tours. We did London, Lucerne, Lugano, Venice, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Sorrento and Capri.

It was years later, June 2001, on the spur of the moment that wanderlust boiled in me, till I couldn't take it. I decided to go to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and The Killing Fields. In April 2002 I went to Northern India. I went to Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Ranthambhore and Jaipur. All I will say is the Taj Mahal is everything you could imagine and more!

In November/December 2003, my wife Mary Ellen and Iwent to the International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in Santiago, Chile. We also stopped in Peru to see Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu. In May 2004 we took a cruise to Alaska with the Princess Curise lines. In October 2005, we did the greatest adventure ever: as East African Safari!

May of 2007, we went to Spain, primarily the southern cities of Seville, Cordoba & Granda. Pictures and video coming soon

JAGUAR FILMS

I have been a screenwriter for years now. In 1998 I started my own production company, Jaguar Films. I wrote produced and directed a contemporary version of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". It was one of five films chosen as part of the Showtime Black Filmmaker Showcase. Read about my project "The Pen". Check out the site: Jaguar Films.

My screenplay, "Vagabond" just won the Grand Prize of the Black Hollywood Education Resource Center Screenwriting Contest! Please ask me about it :)

MARRIAGE

  

May 11th 2002 I joined the ranks of married men.. My Wedding Pictures Site contains the best pictures from that day.

May 11th 2007 made five years of marriage. WHOO!

TV

The 2006/2007 had some great highlights

24 season 6 turned out to be a dissapointment. LOST rebounds in a big way in the second 1/2 of the season. Law & Order: SVU is easily the best of the 3. Heroes came out of nowhere an drose to the top. ER continues to be good.

The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs & My Name is Earl provide great Thursday night laughs.

I love The Closer. Cold Case came out of nowhere with an amazing season ender.

The Planet Earth series on Discover was amazing, perhaps the greatest nature footage of all times

BOOKS - 2008 reading List

Met Sue Grafton at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena 12/11/2007

2007 was a landmark year for reading. I fufilled a longtime goal from college to read a book a month for a year. In total I read 16 books in 2007! The highlights were the Sue Grafton books "S" & "T" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns", but everything I read was great. Read my 2007 list.

I am not sure what 2008 will bring. The only things I know for sure are the 2008 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses and whatever book is released at our 2008 convention. Check out my list so far.

I feel like I would like to read something sci-fi, some hard-boiled noir story, like a Raymond Chandler and some classic, either Hemingway, Dosteyvsky or ???. I am open to suggestions.
