The good old days

 This is a repost from, oh, a long time ago. It originally  had a bunch of words accompanying the vid, but I didn't bother picking them up. Once enough time passes it all becomes just so much blah blah.

A gloomy time?

If things are not going well for you this Christmas, just remember that's what "they" want -- you and me depressed and demoralized. Phooey on that! They can't get us down! We're tougher than they think. Aren't we? Come on!

 

 

PS: I just realized that in a couple of weeks it will be 20 years since I began animating with Blender. There was a time when I could not have imagined being able to remember things that happened 20 years ago. Twenty years! The crust of the earth hadn't fully cooled yet then! Time flies when you're having fun and making money! And even when you're not. Oh, and, yes, I use myself as the motion capture model.

Merry Christmas! The reason for the season: The King of kings is born!

The Train Stops 

The bond between a father and daughter never breaks, but it can hurt each very much to maintain.  If you don't understand this story, you probably aren't the father of a daughter or a daughter.

 First broadcast over CBS Radio Mystery Theater on August 23, 1976:

 

This may be my favorite radio play by Elspeth Eric. One of two, I guess.  The other is Mirror, Mirror, previously posted.  This play also features two of my favorite radio actors, Norman Rose and Jada Rowland. They fit the roles here perfectly.  Aside from two supporting actors, they carry the play entirely with their voices.  Deep in the night, when I can't sleep, I listen intently to this play, catching every intonation, every emotion and I feel almost as if I have lived this story myself.
