It just feels like the right time to trot this, one of my favorite clips, out. I’ve probably mentioned, whenever I meet a new person, I typically tell them, “We’ve met before, haven’t we?” Just for the hell of it.

I’ll See You on the Beach
In honor of the brave men from the Allied Forces, 76 years ago today.
Still Alive
As a few of you know, I’m a big fan of documentaries, and I stumbled upon one last night which I wanted to strongly recommend: Still Alive.
Silver Screen Fiend
I’m a big comedy fan, and Patton Oswalt has always been right near the top. This was an interview they did with him on the Google campus a few years ago that I found interesting and entertaining.
Rudy Inspiration
Whenever I need a lift, I go to an unusual place, and a clip I’ve shown once or twice in Slope’s long history: the 1996 men’s national figure skating championship of 1996.
Local boy Rudy Galindo was the last to perform, and he had no shortage of pain and heartache in his life. In spite of the tension and risk, he performed brilliantly, and I cannot help get choked up every time I watch this. He radiates pure joy and the most pristine expression of years of practice transformed into a dazzling display of skill. Simply marvelous.
