On New Year's Day Mom and Dad took me to Iowa to see the World's Largest Pizza, now an amusement park and major tourist draw:




Fitness is the key - everyday I try to do at least a couple hundred push-ups:




Here I was practicing tai chi at the library when Dad's camera interrupted my flow:




I recently went on another audition, although this one turned out to be very exciting:   a screen test where they had me reenact that famous scene from Hitchcock's
