You looked mahvelous!

Just wanted to thank everyone who participated in the family video project - you all sounded great and I have forwarded your tapes to an NBC talent scout who should be in touch with you soon.

It turned out to be a dark and stormy day that Sunday but we managed to make 7 stops before the day was over. Deb did the organizing and drove us all over Maryland in the fog and rain and we didn't hit a single pedestrian. Actually, the project ended up taking us a lot longer to do than we anticipated but I think it was well worth it. Thanks to Launie for the gluten-free brownies, and Aunt Carol for the gluten-free pumpkin pie.

I know a lot of you were nervous about being in front of the camera and doing the funky chicken to the theme from Shaft, but I thought you all did a great job. Nevertheless, some of you might feel you said things you weren't happy with and would like to delete. If so, please get back to me, and let me know what you want to erase and I will be happy to strike it from the archive. I want to reiterate that nothing from the questions you answered will be used in the party videos except for your answer to the question, "Do you play a musical instrument" and I might pull some of the laughs, goof ups and "can we do that again?" lines for a gag reel. I would never show anything of a truly personal nature to anyone. Except maybe the New York Times. And only then if they were to pay me a lot of money.

Christmas Party Invite to follow. Stay tuned...
