A friend of mine posted this video link on facebook today. I’ve watched the video a few times now at first for a good laugh (the little girl is undeniably cute), but then with some introspection. I can’t remember the last time I truly rambled off a big list of those things I’m grateful for. […]
So if you’ve chatted with me at all in the past few months or read this blog at all in January, you’ve probably heard (to perhaps an annoying degree) that I enjoyed volunteering at the Sundance Film Festival this year.
