For Valentines' Day last year, my wife and I went to Tara Inn in Clark, PA. It's a "Gone With the Wind" themed bed and breakfast, but they have jacuzzis, unlike the movie!

There are no photos of me holding the video camera in the 80s. So the only time you can ever see me with it is in videos where I am looking into mirrors.

"Allen Covert wants to meet you" - that's what a couple who'd just talked to him told me. He said, "I'm going to tell you the best Ramones story ever" and he made good on the statement! He saw them live in 1980 when he was 14 - Dee Dee let him and his friends into the show!
