I went to high school with Paul Giamatti.  He was funny and talented then, he is funny and talented now.

He is also in a new production by HBO of David McCullough’s John Adams.    Tom Hanks is one of the producers, and, of course, he’s grabbing a lot of the attention.  I’m just glad he’s not in it…and glad THE GUY I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH is.

Apparently, I’ve been thinking in staccato for the past 24 hours.  Maybe over the weekend I’ll rustle up some actual paragraphs. 

“Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell”
                                -Will, the Tempest

The beauty of the sea change is that another always follows.
