I will write all the time on this new site. I promise.

Right now, I feel a little like a crappy boyfriend who goes out with his buddies every night and ignores you when beautiful women are around. And now I'm saying, "I'll change. I'll change."

You probably should break up with me, but I'm swearing everything will be different. I'm committed to the blog. I'm committed to us. I'll write often.

(Quick quiz on a related topic: What's the best 'please don't leave me' scene from any movie in history? Answer at the end.)

To explain the title of this blog entry, here's a random photo of Fresno's own Kerry Yo Nakagawa with Robert Redford from a column a couple months ago about a new sports movie called "The American Pastime."

How's that for random? Just thought you'd like to see a photo or two of the people who appear in my columns, and if those pictures happen to be with national celebrities, even better.

The movie is in the editing stages now, and as soon as I find out a release date, you'll be the first to know.

The answer to the trivia question is ... (OK, I realize that an opinion question shouldn't be considered trivia. You can stop yelling now.) ... "Stripes." At the beginning, Bill Murray's girlfriend is packing up her stuff, and telling him how he's not going anywhere in life, and that he's never going to change. And he comes back with, "You can go. All the plants are gonna die."

Classic line. If you know the relationship is doomed anyway, at least go out with a classic line.
