The View From Here

This photo was shot earlier in the week from high above Lake Tahoe by Aidan, who was snow-boarding.

Today an independent film crew came by to film me talking about my first book, Circle of Poison, co-authored with Mark Schapiro. That book was published 33 years ago but continues to draw interest from people concerned about the global effects of pesticides on our health and environment.

The crew stayed around after the session and filmed me in my apartment as I dug out old copies of translations of the book, posters, and other materials.

It was a more personal look at my life as a writer than anyone else has filmed, and I'm sure most of it will land on the cutting room floor.

But I am thinking of asking them to save that excess footage for my children and grandchildren to see after I am gone.

Good idea?
