Good Monday morning to you all, and a Happy New Year.

Back to work after a few days off.

So this is my very first post of 2012; a touching short film titled Hello Benjamin by Solomon Shadrach Turner - his senior project at Oberlin College - whose father (Benjamin) died in 1990, when Solomon was just a kid... a kid who so obviously loved and, as he says in the film, not just wanted to be like his father, but to be his father, though he never really got to know him well because he died young.
