    I came across this today and thought I’d let you know of your success… poor Isabel heard it and came running across the room, “Mommy!!! Hold me! I heard a dinosaur!!”

    Darryl this is Evan Griffiths, the friend of Jeff Davis that you met in Springfield, Missouri. Just wanted to say I loved the little knife trick, very funny. Actually I plan on using some of your film tips in an upcoming movie I’m working on with some friends of mine, Jeff Included. I will show it to you when we are done. I hope it is good. First film for all of us. Write me back if you can.

    Take care,

    Evan….

    Hi, Evan. Great to hear from you. I hope you and Karen and Jeff are doing well. Can’t wait to see your movie.

    Must say, I was also getting strange looks from my children!
