Happy Father's Day!

About a month ago I received an email from my agent.  It was for a possible spot in a Father's Day tribute.  All I had to do was send in a digital copy of my headshot...and write a short essay about my dad and what the word "father" meant to me.  Hey, I had a headshot, and hey, I love to write, so send it in I did.  And I was selected!

So early one morning I went to the filming studio, had my hair, make-up, and my wardrobe all done.  Then I went on the set which was basically just a white floor and background, and a stool.  There I sat talking with the director, telling him all sorts of stories about my dad.  I laughed.  I cried.  I loved it.

Here's a link to it on YouTube.  Kali in a Father's Day Video  I'm at 1:10 and 2:02.

Putting it on the Line

I have to admit that my kids are rather used to being spoiled in the laundry department.  As far as they're concerned, the laundry fairy shows up most of the time and delivers piles of neatly folded laundry.  I figured they rather dug it like that, so I was blown away when my big guy said something to me today when I was hanging some jeans on our clothesline.


Big guy:  "Are you going to start using the clothesline again?"

Me:  "Just a little.  I always lay off in the winter."

Big guy:  "Well, I like when clothes are hanging out here so I can just go outside and take what I want to wear off the line."


I really dug it...and somehow I think one of his fond childhood memories will be of his mom hanging his clothes to dry.  Pretty groovy.
