Five years old sort of makes it all official. They’re not babies any more. If that was a bitter pill to swallow when Colin turned the page two years ago; it makes today even more bittersweet – as I look to my Little Princess, Daddy’s Little Girl, growing in leaps and bounds with every day. With…
Editor’s Note – In honor of Dennis Hopper’s passing, I’m reposting this piece – originally published on July 14, 2006. Enjoy – and let me know some of your faves in the Comments below. The late Gene Siskel once applied this logic to determine what makes a good movie. Five good scenes and no bad…
