“The Professor” “Brother Andy” “The Happy Hooligan” in front of my camera in Palm Springs California. Director, writer, producer, actor, editor, stage hand, prop master, cameraman… Andy is an incredibly talented one man show having created over one hundred short film off-beat comedies that are just hilarious and so very inventive. The guy truly leaves me and others speechless with what he does with such minimal gear and non-existent budget and a loyal following of fellow actors.

Take these two tablets and call me in the morning. Bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman making a grand entrance on stage for the finals at the 2006 Mr. Olympia competition. He won the Mr. Olympia title eight times.
That day Ronnie and I each arrived by limousine at the Orleans Arena very early. I was the photographer for Bodybuilding.com so we knew each other. As we walked in I asked him what it really felt like being at another Olympia. Among the things he said was that this was what God had intended for him. Ronnie is known for being very religious and I could tell that he was not bragging but actually feeling humble about it. It was truly a really nice moment I have remembered from my times in the bodybuilding industry.
This is not clear to me. If I drive at 5MPH do I get a beer? How long do I drive at 5MPH? If I drive at 10MPH do I get two beers? And do I get an IPA? Or just some watery lite beer? I need help with this one because I go past this place every now and then.
Numerous Sunspots today. The larger areas are approximately 900 million square kilometers in size. By comparison the Earth measures 516 million square kilometers. Palm Springs California
