I had the best time with my cousins and my aunt Betty this past weekend. Aunt Betty will be 104 years old this December, but she still managed to run circles around us all. We met in Omaha, Nebraska and boy, did we party!

One of the highlights of the weekend was all of us gathered together, munching on popcorn, watching my cameo on the Cedar Cove series. It was quite an experience being on the set and being part of a scene. What most people don’t understand is what hard work that little bit of acting was. After about the fifth or sixth take (for different camera angles), I was ready for a nap! Frankly I’m much happier in front of a computer.

Here’s one of many party photos from the trip: my daughter Jody, Aunt Betty, and me.
