Play: That Championship Season

Saw Jason Miller's play "That Championship Season" - sad and sorry middle-age men in a depressed 70s-era Pennsylvania town remembering evidently the only highlight of their lives - a victory in high-school basketball championship. Yay...

Dad's F-word Birthday

In what emerges as a family tradition, the birthday boy was presented with this video short "Forty is an F-word" by Leon & Max.

Speed Limit 40

On the Labor Day weekend Monday, the friends&family threw Dad a wild party featuring young girls in skimpy skirts, vintage spirits, gourmet food, and, culmination of the festivities, a thriller movie "Speed Limit 40" by Alik.

Due to YouTube limitations, I had to cut the movie into three parts, so watch them in sequence. Total playing time around 15 mins.

Dad Runs Marathon

In what appears to be an early sign of midlife crisis, Dad ran a marathon just days before his birthday.

Since Dad was the only participant of this unofficial marathon of his own design, Leon supposed to play the role of the cheering crowd, a mobile feed area and an EMT. Leon, however, overslept, and Dad had to reserve to drinking questionable quality water in the public restrooms along the way. Leon did eventually woke up, brought Dad some goodies and then organized a finish line celebration.

Here is the route:Dad finished the 26.75 miles in 4 hours 25 minutes. Since he overshot the official 26.22 marathon by more than a half-a-mile, he now claims that he finished the distance in 4:20.
