Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.

At fifty-three I am contemplating removing the H from my nom de plume and going by Olden Pike. I am now a few years older than Abe Vigoda was when he played Tessio in The Godfather. He did live to be ninety-four. Vigoda, not Tessio. "Can't do it, Sally."

Thanks for the B-Day wishes. Had a very nice dinner out at one of our favorite Italian restaurants with my wife, step sons, and three-year-old granddaughter, my folks stopped by for a bit in the morning, and I got an offer letter for a new job that I accepted which includes a significant salary increase. Then the weekend was full of band gigs. So it was a terrific birthday.

Congrats on the new job! Sounds exciting, as well as rewarding with the big increase in pay.

A grand birthday, indeed!



Cheers Holden!
