Hey Grandpa!

Sow talked to my dad for the first time yesterday. We called to wish him a happy birthday and get updates on the filming. He was really surprised to hear from us. Maybe that's because of the time difference. It was still friday night there for him.

When I finally put Sow on the phone they talked for a little. He's really excited about the baby so I thought maybe he was telling her about all the toys he want to buy for him. When she handed me the phone back, he told me he'd gotten nervous and didn't know what to say, so he just kept telling her what a great guy I was.

A few more minutes and I think he'd have read her a chapter from the book he's working on and given her a bit of family history. Maybe next time.

By the way, he made it up to Lake Berryessa to watch them film one of the scenes from the movie. He was really impressed with everything he saw and how great everybody was to him. Can't wait to see this one!
