It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

Our First Festival

Greetings from Columbia, MO!

We are doing "sneak peek" screenings this weekend. A dress rehearsal before Tribeca...

Check out "Secret Screening Orange" at truefalse.org

And so it begins...

Is this how we are going to party in NYC on April 23 after the 3 pm premiere?

Are fanny packs cool in NYC?

Home away from home

Miguel tuvo una página llena!

Our friend Joshua (our cameraman who some of you met in the Philippines) recently went to Colombia and was excited to come across this newspaper. He is about 1/2 way through Ilustrado and asked me today: Is any of the stuff about the family true?

March Family Project: Read an Inspirational Biography Month!

Hey, Peeps!  It's not a popular genre, but if once a year we read an inspiring lifestory, think of how much wisdom we'd glean !!!! Plus, think how smart we'd sound having brunch in New York discussing these books!

Pebs recommended this memoir a few weeks ago and it was unputdownable and thought-provoking!

 Do you have any other recomendations, P?

Chucks, I'm sure have great books to suggest!

I am thinking of reading this. Because I loved Wes Anderson's adaptation of "The Fantastic Mr. Fox".

And let's not forget to get good books for the kiddies too!

Happy Reading!

Thank you everybody for the birthday wishes. Had a wonderful day. Sharing a couple of photos of how us Montrealais go to birthday dinner.

Happy Birthday, RAFI!!!!

Since it's your birthday, it's customary for your elder ( and much wiser) family members to impart some golden nuggets of wisdom that you can  live by.

I have two words for you:

                                                               STEVE.MCQUEEN.

        Except for the smoking and driving fast cars and motorcycles- study him, learn him, channel him.
                                                                Why? Chicks Dig it!
                                                                                :-)

                                        Happy Birthday Rafi! Hope you have a  super great day!!!!

We are sending you all our love today!

Sunday night at Green Lane surfing the web

For Mom- hope you know how to get this on the ipad:-)

We all get stressed out some time.... so, here's some inspiration....

Ken Vs. Jaime: Butter Knives are fiercer than Katanas!

....ha? ha? What did I tell yah? Ken Watanabe is also Eyo Huto's uncle!
..... I can't wait for next Halloween!

Because you forgot.....

AHA! You forgot! Yes, it is Valentine's day today, Jaime... so here's a very PUBLIC Valentine Surprise for you.....

Dearest Jaime:

I'm putting the song on the blog, so you can access it anytime you want.... and to let you know that whether I'm 18 or 80, I would still climb on the back of your motorcycle, your car, your bicycle, your scooter or your rollerblades.....because ...You are the boy I would follow to the ends of the earth, up and down roads we don't know, through thunder and sunshine...
..... Also, you are really, really cute  ( you kinda look like Ken Watanabe in the Last Samurai with your hairstyle and your frown) ...and you make good pancakes ( with crumble )!

It's  BE NICE TO YOUR SPOUSE DAY  in the family calendar!!!

LET'S CELEBRATE AMORE, PEOPLE!

From a little boy to his mom... on Valentine's Day

Sung to the tune of "I'm not that girl" from the musical Wicked

What A Pretty Girl

Her hair, like silk

Her dress, white as milk

Eyes dark, like a rare black pearl

She’s so wonderful

What a pretty girl

So kind, so warm

She would never, do harm

She gives us all so much joy

She’s so wonderful

What a pretty girl

Ev’ry so often we long to see

Her in that old white gown

It always heals us of the aches we feel

When she comforts us again

Sweet smile, hearty laugh

Works all day, never rests

Dark hair in a ponytail

She’s so wonderful

What a pretty girl

Great mom, great cook

She could write a good cookbook

She was born as an angel girl

Thats the girl I know

We all love her so

What a pretty girl

Happy Valentines Day!

For Mom: Who has a new Hip, a new computer set-up in her room... and a new life!

Just a little something to make you smile:-)

February: Do something out of your comfort zone month!

Just a gentle reminder to live a BIG life this year!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so MUCHO!!!!!! I Love the family b'day calendar. It's ingenious, hilarious, creative and most important of all, it's family. I can only suspect who the author is although it may have easily been prepared by every member of this fascinating family.

And, i have to add that I thought all was lost but just today i received a canvas sack which made me feel that i too was included as a SURVIVOR even if i was not with the Syjucos in Bali. thank you sooo so much. Out Thanks!!!!!!

Love u all - Tatat
