Underneath the calm, cool exterior that I have cultivated as a mortgage banker beats the heart of a passionate dramatist. For the first time in print, I reveal that Sydney and I are stars in a movie. Ok, we appear in a movie. Ok, our friend produced it and left some footage of us in it. The movie is Bake Shop Ghost and it will not be appearing in theaters near you anytime soon.

The movie was shot on the back lot of Universal Studios and on location in Southern California in the last year. We spent a morning there for our part in the movie. We were not paid but we got to eat at the caterer's truck and we were in costume and felt the part of seasoned actors. If we ever get a copy of it, we will show it to you at our home along with a lot of our home movies which we are certain you are also anxious to see.
