Regrets...

With Rick's memorial in 2 days, I'm regretting that I'm won't be able to attend the event in LA.

LA is so close. It's an hour flight from the Bay Area. One can even drive down to LA in half a day.

But, due to circumstances, I won't be able to attend my friend's memorial.

The regret is not keeping in touch with Rick when he left for LA to pursue his acting career. I saw Rick's work while he was local theatre in SF. Thank god for You Tube. I was able to see Rick's work. Love Rick Supercut ad. Then, there was the "Mash" ad for the NHL.

But, yesterday, a good friend of Rick posted a video on You Tube via his Facebook page.

It was great to see Rick at work. Acting was passion for him. In the beginning of the video, there was portion where Rick introduced himself. It was heartbreaking to learn about his parents. But, what brought me to tears was his piece in the Laramie Project. The pain in his eyes and the emotions he gave at the lost of Ryan was very powerful. But, what I really enjoyed was seeing Rick again and hearing his voice.

Thank you for the posting.

Keep smiling Rick.
