Oh, my.... :shock:

I've always had the hugest crush on Jennifer Connelly ever since I saw her in "The Rocketeer". She is just about the hottest chick on the planet.

Mia Sara is hot, and I enjoyed her in "Timecop" with Jean Claude Van Damme.

Hey, ya know, Stockard Channing was actually screen tested to play Lois Lane in the first Chris Reeve "Superman". Her screen test is available on the special edition of the DVD.

I thought that was post-"Grease", but forget, they both came out so long ago. Here are those scenes if you are interested:

Rip, those pics are great...what an attractive family you all make. I'm sure you count your blessings everyday and are thankful for what you have been given.

Thanks, bro -- For all my joking and goofing around, I really try to do that. I'm honestly grateful for having much of anything at all... Yeah, man... career, family... I'm not sure it will ever completely sink in how lucky I've been, and definitely how merciful God has been to me. I just try not to take it for granted, because I sure don't deserve any of it.

Great attitude, but I'm sure you are deserving ..thats why you and your wifes paths crossed to bring you both together. The love you all share is apparent in those pics...it can be seen in your eyes. They are lucky ladies to have a husband and father who cherish's them the way you do.

I appreciate you very much, but I don't want to create any illusions that we're the Cleavers... haha! We've both had to make a ton of changes just to survive with each other, and as a result, 2007 was really the best year we've had. I'm also not the easiest guy to live with at times, but for some reason, she tolerates me.

Love is a choice, really. Very, very easy to become infatuated with someone in the beginning, but eventually, no matter who you are married to (even Pam Anderson

), it takes more. Tommy Lee wrote a funny song about it called "Tired"...

So anyway, my default position is not great hubby, model daddy, etc. -- I'm learning to be better, though.

I don't want to be too hard on myself, because I have made some progress. I don't work too late anymore, skip family gatherings as much, and I actually got about 70% of the way thru "Polar Express"...

Got a long way to go... But I sure do love 'em!

My dad, he would have been 75 this May just gone, he was a massive AC/DC fan, all my sisters, Shaggy my partner hubby to be, Al one of my bro-in laws, few nieces and nephews and my youngest daughter cat, as well as my great nephew. I also think my mum is a rarity having Van Halen in her record collection at the age of 75 also

...Sadly my two older kids aren't into Rock music though...they're basically into crap music ...but you can't win 'em all;)
I would say a good percentage RR
