Where Creative Juice Comes From
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008The Rookie Mom’s Handbook
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
This excellent book, truly handbook size, is chock full of fun projects — 250 activities, to be exact — that you can do with, and without (as pointed out right on the cover) with your baby. It’s by Heather Gibbs Flett and Whitney Moss, who run the popular RookieMoms.com website. Both the book and the website are definitely worth checking out.
Great Quote From George Roy Hill, Director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007"I have now spent exactly a year and three months on this film, and at this point, I don’t know yet how it’s going to be received. I think it’s a good film, I think the guys are great in it, and I think the relationships work. It was a hell of a lot of hard work doing it, and actually even more fun, and if audiences don’t dig it, I think I’ll go out of my fucking mind."
(Heard this quote in the documentary The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid).
