I´m on my way to Germany to make a movie. Folks I meet along the way keep giving me cryptic messages. First there was the amazing man in my train station in the coffee stop, who said that he hasn’t missed a day of work in 29 years. When I exclaimed that that’s practically my whole life, he said, “Well, you gotta do what you love, Boobie!” He said that his doctor says that he’s his hero. He is my hero now too.

Then there was Marie, the gorgeous black grandma queen in JFK. Her heart collapsed 3 months ago, and here she stood. The doctors came up with a new term for what happened to her called the cabbage! They´re using her surgery video to tech interns! And yet, here she stands now. Her advice? Live life to the fullest and have no regrets as she has many. She wanted to be a therapist. I think that she´s a damned good one.
