It hasn’t been an easy year. It’s been the hardest of my life, in fact. But I’m alive, at least. I’m kicking and am able to share my love for movies again with all my buddies.

Thank you to everyone who helped keep Cinema Crazed alive while I was gone. Thank you Emilie, thank you Phil, Thank you Jeremy, thank you everyone I forgot. You are true blue friends and colleagues.

I plan to stick around for a while yet so lets get this going!
