Poor, poor tired Ameri!

I was looking through our pictures and I noticed that all of the pictures of Ameri past, say October, show him as very tired boy! He's been working so hard and getting so little sleep that his eyes are red, his cheeks are hollow and he looks like he's going to fall over any minute. He gets skinnier and skinnier and I gain all the weight he loses. What was that nursery rhyme - "Jack Sprat could eat no fat . . ." :)

Here we are at Madeleine's first Laker game. My client Elliot (thanks Elliot!) gave us his season tickets for the night as a gift and we invited my cousin Karen's husband Bernie and their son Caden. At the end of the game a man says to me, "Wow! Your daughter is really little. She's cute. How old is she?"
I told him that she was 6 weeks old and we had a nice conversation. About half way through the conversation I realize that I'm talking to the actor Bill Paxton (Apollo 13)! Crazy. I'd met actors as the gym where I work, but they're either T.V. stars or do small parts in movies. I'd never met one of the "big time" actors. Welcome to L.A.! I was too shy to ask him to take a picture with Madeleine, but I'm sure he would have obliged. He was with his family and he was very nice. Wouldn't that have been a fun picture for Madeleine?

Ameri and his girls. Charley looks more tired than he does in the second one! I think Ameri was trying to open his eyes wider to look awake!
