LIFE is all about Relationships
I spent almost 20 years in the movie industry, I have watched a lot of movies. I am a big guy but I admit, I am rather tender hearted. My kids know firsthand that I rarely made it through a Disney movie without tearing up.

It wasn’t long before they figured me out and insisted on stationing themselves on either side. Yes, going forward I was forever busted.
