I'm all for humility...I even have some somewhere on reserve...but don't go so far as to call yourself shitty....you do the rest of us a disservice....and we all know you aren't shitty.

I look forward to seeing the film...it's a longer drive from the Mexican beach...I'm sure the AANF will welcome the chance to screen it...the fuckers. But that's just our community and very few of them. There are Assyrian TV stations...but then you know all that.

This is a real first for us....and pioneers always operate with ten thousand handicaps...but by Ashur if someone doesn't crawl over that mountain first...no one else will find the path.

I know better than anyone the limitations of the Ashurbanipal Monument...and I have to remind myself not to cringe when I look at it too closely today...but that isn't the point. That monument and your film are the first serious efforts made at joining our heritage to the predominantly white, European Anglo culture the weirdo Pligrims brought over with them....and which people think of when they think of American Culture. The first such efforts in the hundred years or so since Assyrians first came to America.

I hope to Ashur that real soon that I'll be outclassed by other's coming after me...but still....it means something to have finally done it....to get our toes wet...draw our first blood...we're finally here...got a toehold on the culture.

Good going....you make us all proud.
