Can you guess the film?

A Happy New Year Indeed!

Had a great first week of the New Year! The fun times I've already had this year include drinking wine and playing "Settlers of Catan" with friends, watching a couple of entertaining movies ("Marley & Me" and "Yes Man") and for you Saved by the Bell fans: Meeting Dennis Haskins, Mr. Belding himself!


Yours truly, Dennis Haskins, and Laura Lee at Dimples Karaoke Bar in Burbank, 2009.
