Only love.” –Don Juan de Marco   http://youtu.be/SoJUCuNewRs   I recall watching this 1994 movie starring Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando…

  This experience harkens back a few years, but it is every bit as timely today as it was then; a journal entry of sorts…   “I received an email from my friend Peter Moses a few weeks ago, as part of a request to  forward a press release for a fundraiser for an organization we…

I love movies, From the time I was a child, walking into The Fox Theater in Willingboro, NJ (and as silly as it might seem, before I entered the building, at around the age of 3, I really believed we were going to be inside the belly of a giant fox:) to watch a Disney movie, I was…
