Hey Cookie

Well it’s the day of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.  Do you have your Oscar snacks ready?  Did you write down your picks? I saw all of the best picture noms except The Fighter.  Of course, I’m rooting for BLACK SWAN and 127 HOURS.  They were both well written, directed, photographed beautifully and great acting.  […]


Memories

Last year I decided to scan the hundreds of slides we found in my parent’s stuff.   I’ve scanned over 1,000 slides and gave them as gifts to my brothers and sister at Christmas.  During my Christmas trip Tim came over for dinner at Judys with a huge box FILLED with slides.  The next day I […]

Copy, right?

I have been in the copyright business for 20 years.   I’ve made my living off of intellectual property.   It keeps me employed.  No, I’m not a musician (believe me, I don’t make any money off of my drum playing)  but I am a good paper pusher.   I’ve see a lot of changes in the business […]
