The kids were curious about the FLIP camera - and thought it would be fun for them to make movies of the house to say good bye and perhaps a little theraputic. I shared with them how I plan out my "scenes" and had them watch me shoot and make the movie - answering their questions. Then, I told them to go make a movie.

Last weekend, I saw two movies, Birdman and Particle Fever , that portrayed very different attitudes towards success and failure. So, I’m hoping to spend some time at the end of this month reflecting on some of my most recent failures with a “scientific method” type of lense: Question: What question about my life was I trying to answer?
