Derek and I went up to Marin on Friday to shoot for an upcoming ad campaign. This, and the photograph I'll post tomorrow, were our "let's get the sillies out" moments. See also Derek's Tough Guy.

My mother Pauline, had a twin brother Paul, and she was definitely the ring leader of the two. Family history has it that upon returning home from seeing King Kong, my mother convinced Uncle Paul to swing from the light fixture to mimic King Kong swinging at the top of the Empire State Building. Unfortunately, ceilings aren't quite constructed in the same way that building spires are, and Uncle Paul and the fixture landed with a thump on the living room floor.
