I know I say this every year but it is kind of sad that we lump the birthday's of two great Americans together. When I was in Junior High and High School, they were two separate observed holidays and now ... just one. Well, I don't know what happened but I wonder what will be next ... Thanksgiving and Christmas? We can just call it the Turkey/Ham Holiday I guess since the meals seem to be the common factor. Sad really.
Weekly Update:Pretty busy week for me and I am glad it is over. Had a crazy start with some charity stuff which all accumulated on Wednesday for our 5th Annual Young Variety Pool Tournament. New venue this year and more celebs this year that included some sports figures. It was overall pretty good but very disorganized for our charity. More behind the scenes craziness but I think on the surface it looked fine. While there I did get to meet someone who was unexpected to show up and grab a quick picture with:
*Dennis L.A. White- Best known from the film "Notorious" and a really nice guy.
Later in the week was semi-calmer but still had to help out some friends with stuff that went on into the late hours on Thursday so I was pretty beat. This week ... not sure what is going on yet but I do have some days filled with activities.
At the movies:
Nothing spectacular at the box office this week. The suspense drama Unknown takes top honors with a debut of 21.8 million. A little sci-fi drama debuts to take #2 with I Am Number Four earns 19.5 mil. Slight drop down to #3 is "Gnomeo & Juliet" with an extra 19.4 mil for this winter animated film. Bigger drop to #4 is "Just Go With It" as it takes in another 18.2 mil. New at #5 is the "comedy" Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son and earns 17 mil which I am sure that is all we will see from this film but its probably enough to make the folks at Fox happy.
Quote of the week:

Other News:"HELLO!" Another sad week for holiday as Len Lesser passes. Lesser is probably best known as Uncle Leo with his cheering and enthusiastic catch-phrase, "HELLO!" from the hit TV series "Seinfeld" died at his home in Burbank, California on Wednesday from cancer-related pneumonia. Lesser's career was actually pretty wide. In addition to "Seinfeld" he also had numerous other TV appearances including "Get Smart," "The Munsters," "ER" and "Everybody Loves Raymond." Oddly enough, I remember him best as one of the screw-up service men from the classic movie "Kelly's Heroes." Lesser also appeared in other features which include "The Outlaw Josey Wales," "Birdman of Alcatraz" and "Death Hunt." In a statement following her father's death, daughter Michele stated, "Heaven got a great comedian actor today ..." and she was 100% correct. Len was 88.
