Six Degrees of Reflection

Today, I turned fifty-five, and I paused to reflect on the lives that I may have touched. It is no wonder that the theory states that we are separated by six or fewer degrees. I am jotting down, not the lives, but the way in which I may have been or am part of your life – son, grandson, brother, cousin, student, teacher, employee, husband, lover, father, dad, nephew, uncle, soldier, sailor, leader, engineer, manager, board member, president, elder, actor, author, poet, father-in-law, confidant, antagonist, protagonist, counselor, grandfather, and friend.

Thank you, all, for being part of my life. I look forward to our future connections.

Chicago History Museum -- Update

This morning, I received confirmation that the exhibition is up and running:


The director of the production company that built the exhibit said, "It [your movie] was used -- thank you so much for your donation! The museum was thrilled by the addition, and we hope that you and your family get a chance to see it, while the exhibit is running (until January 2011). Thank you, again!"

BTW, the original blog on this topic is here.
