First
Kiss

Do you remember? Your first kiss? Sure you do.
Just give it a minute. It will come back to you.
I was channel surfing the other day and came across a
scene from ‘Meet Joe Black’ a movie starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, and a
beautiful young lady named Claire Fiorini who plays Hopkins's daughter.
Joe Black is Death who takes human form. He makes a trade
with Hopkins character, a highly principled and hugely successful
businessman. In exchange for guidance in
the world of the living and a glimpse of life in the human realm, Death extends
Hopkins's life and the Hopkins character lets Death into his.
I didn’t see the movie on the big screen and I
probably wouldn’t have watched it this time if I wasn’t working on a series
I’ve been writing packaged as First Jobs.
I just recently had the pleasure and privilege of
spending several hours with McKinney’s Mayor Pro-Tem Pete Huff. We took a
journey in time through Pete’s eyes beginning in the 1950s that left me
inspired, motivated, and totally captivated.
Something about the Hopkins character resembled Pete
Huff’s own in such a way that I watched the movie and missed my beloved Texas
Rangers game. I’ve got to figure this TeVo thing out!
Innocence
At one point in the movie, Death and the daughter
share a kiss. For Death, it is his first kiss. The two portray an innocence that
was neither clumsy nor forced. It reminded me of something 40 years in my past.
The
Color of Love
For me, that color would be Lavender!
