This past Saturday, my classmates packed The Queen of Hearts, a cruise boat that trolled up and down the Hudson for three hours. There’s Linda and me on the bow. Yes, the bow is the front of the boat. Photo: Benjamin Shaw (www.benjaminshaw.com)

That’s me with the video camera in the upper right hand corner of your television screen. Right behind Amy Poehler and the Olsen twins. Look how convincingly I’m holding that camera. I’m even attempting to focus the lens. So realistic. Thanks to Carrie for the photo.
