I'm a single father of two beautiful
chidren and I live in Novato, CA. I am also the
embodiment of several neurotic tendencies. But you will
find that out soon enough.
I'll be writing honest blog entries about my trials and
successes as a single father. Tune in to hear about my
foibles and learn about all the mistakes you shouldn't
make. I take the hit, you gain the knowledge.

THINGS I'M ENJOYING
LATELY
I don’t have a lot to say about this scene. It speaks
for itself. I don’t think there is a person under
fifty who doesn’t hold a special place in their
hearts for this song and performance. Gene Wilder is
a national treasure, and it would be hard to pick a
favorite movie or a favorite scene, though this one
ranks very highly.
Now for my part, I would make a beeline right for the
gummy bear tree. You?
Today, I ring the Depot Bell for Gene Wilder in Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I’ve watched this
scene maybe a hundred times and it still has the
power to charm and amuse, and so qualifies to be on
the list of the one hundred things that make me
happy.
