Forgive me for bragging (or not), but I cannot help it.
My grandson, David Kaplan, is the producer of the Oscar nominated film “The Brutalist,” which had seven Oscar nominations and two wins, one for best actor and one for best musical score.
What is amazing about all this is that David is only 38 years old, the film was made on an extremely low budget by Hollywood standards, and it is three-and-a-half hours long, which means it must be extremely good for audiences to be willing to sit through it.
And while bragging about grandsons, a second one, Danny Parkins, is on a major national television network three hours a day, five days a week — a sportscaster with everything you would ever want to know about every sport ever invented.
Considering that I am 96 years old, I had come to think there was nothing left to get excited about, but I was wrong. Maybe something is even better for me in the future. I sure hope so. Who knows?
