Love's Leap(Day 31)

Happy Leap Day fellow travelers, hope you enjoy it as it will be our last...  >:P
 I'm really stoked!  I just got offered the part of 'Jacques' in a short silent film called "Pocket Hat".  It's a homage to Tati and Chaplin (I'll be the Tati-esque character), and it's going to be a lot of fun and an even bigger challenge!

Now on a different note, I feel compelled to share this experience with you-  last saturday, Cory and I went on a ski trip up to Stowe, we happened to go up there during a major snowstorm (the first of the season and it's already the end of feb...anyway...), and we were skiing in up to 3 feet of powder in the glades.  While taking an expedition into a gladed area, Cory and I found this cool powder-filled gully maybe 6 feet across and were swishing down it blissfully.  I was in the lead, looking for hazards and bail outs and such.  I picked up too much speed and ended up wiping out on top of the left side of the gully, so I was actually sorta upside down facing the bottom of the gully.  No problem, tons of snow so it was actually fun!  Cory was coming down a chute on the right side of the gully and had stopped just before it, in a little copse of trees to prepare her descent, out of my sightline.  Just as she dropped in, another skier came whizzing down the gully and they collided!  Well almost, they just missed a direct hit by a millisecond.  The other skier ran over the back of Cory's skis and Cory went down with a yelp in a heap, as I lay there lazily in the snow watching helplessly as the whole thing transpired.  Before I could even react, Cory was yelling, "Sorry! Are you okay?" to the other skier.  The crazy girl didn't even know her own status yet, if she was dead or severely injured or unharmed- and she was apologizing to the other skier, worried about their well-being, despite her own.  I mean who does that?!  Cory does, that's who- and even though it must be a little nuts to be that selfless, I love her all the more for it...

Here it is our moment of zen:

About Me

Matt began his acting career at age 3, when startled awake by the family cat climbing into bed with him. He ran down the hallway yelling, "There's a Dragon in my bed!" When later teased about this incident by his older sister, he claimed that he was never frightened, merely that he was 'acting'...
