Mark and Ted's Excellent Adventure in Drama

Mark Johnson said:
Napa has always been sort of special to me due to a little event that occurred in the late 80's when I was a pretty new lawyer with not much experience outside of the midwest. In fact, every year I throw a party at a little cooking school in San Francisco and invite 20 close friends so we can all drink wine and cook a meal together. Traditionally, before we sit down to eat the meal we have prepared together, I always tell the story. It's sort of like a poor man's Christmas Carol in a way, I guess. Anyway, a long time ago one of my friends asked me to write down the story and so I put it on a web page. Since so many of you on the forum here have become true friends I'll share it here with those who care to read it:

I second that...I really enjoyed reading that story!
 
Thanks Brandon. Interestingly, at last year's party a woman I invited turned out to come from a family that knew Justin Meyer very well and she had some stories to tell about him, including the fact that he had passed away not that long ago -- something I wasn't aware of and one more poignant reminder of how true Harley's words ring.

And thank you Geoff. I am honored and pleased to share it with all of you.
 
Great story, well told. I enjoyed it.

Speaking about the Napa area, I live about 30 minutes east of Napa in a little town called Winters. Though I am not a drinker and never partake in any alcohol, I love the drive up to Calistoga, and enjoy the charm of St. Helena and Calistoga.

Thanks again for the story.

So, how's TTN coming? Are you all madly rushing around trying to get all the final details into place?
 
Ted... where ya at? Do we have to send out a search party?

i think ted's hit that place we all hit near the end of the fest, curled up in a fetal position in the corner with a bottle of rum, just wishing it would all go away. I'll be there tomorrow night.

If it was, you definitely have higher class neighbors than I do. The 2004 is going for about $350 a bottle at Drager's in Palo Alto! However, if I had a bottle and you were around I'd open it for you, Rebecca!

Thanks Mark, you are a sweetie. Ouch. That is a lot for a bottle of wine and they are total wine snobs, so I guess its possible. My husband didn't care for it as much and they acted a little offended. Lol. I however, drank away.....:happy:
 
Things are moving along. The CG plane is compositing in nicely and I think we're going to be able to get everything done in the nick of time. Here's a couple of frames of the CG plane in motion.
