Hello Crispin,

Rubin and Ed was a favorite movie of mine as a teenager when it came out and was a regular point of reference between me and my circle of friends.

Anything that stands out about the making of or reaction to that timeless flick?

How was working with Dr. Johnny Fever?

Do you have any contact with your aunts and or/uncles? If so, do you resent them for not taking you in? I ask this because I have 4 nieces and nephews in foster care (they are my sister's children, and have been split up into three different homes).

My wife and I wish we could take them in, but we are not financially able to do so. We do maintain contact with them and go out with them from time to time, movies, museums, dinner, over at our place for holiday meals (such as it is) etc.

We try to be positive influences on the children (unlike my sister), but I feel very guilty about what has happened to them and not being able to look after them, and i worry a great deal about them. It makes me feel like a failure. How do you view situations like this?
