Sorry for my absence of late, folks. Since my last missive I have been through the wringer (and pulled some undeserving souls through it with me).

I have emerged from this latest brush with death and madness with surprising grace, I’m pleased to say. The whole mess is slowly giving birth to some kind of epiphany, the specifics of which haven’t quite come into focus yet. I think it has something to do with my increasing resistance to human contact — the lack of which appears fatal, I have learned.

So to my alienated friends and family, I ask you to send this broken soul some love…. Despite appearances, I need and appreciate it

My friend, New York Times reporter, filmmaker and mensch of the century Andrew Jacobs has created what looks to be an amazing film, The Four Seasons Lodge.

From the film’s website:

They come together to cook, gamble, flirt, fight and dance. Having endured the worst of humanity, they gather at a Catskills bungalow colony each summer to celebrate life, and relive their harrowing pasts. They are part of a remarkable tribe whose members are fast disappearing – Holocaust survivors with a captivating joie de vivre and a bracing sense of humor.

View the Four Seasons Lodge trailer at their web site. I can’t wait to see the film; I hope it gets down to Florida soon.
