    Small World!

    The street views in the video looked familiar. Essling Ave. is not too far from Stone Church and Upper Sherman, where I have family.

    I really enjoy these videos.
    You've got natural comedic timing and a great sense for editing. There's a zig and zag quality that keeps the viewer just slightly off balance and always amused.

    I know it's more than a little stretch, but I'll plug one of my favorites, a man who also had amazing timing -- Lenny Bruce. Here's a sanitized version for the late 50's early 60's national TV audience.

    I love how you can never quite see where Lenny is going with this bit until the end. It's the same thing with Jack's videos. I think the secret is organized spontaneity -- the off-hand comment, sideways glance, facial tic etc. that comes out of left field and still completes the puzzle. Even a mundane drive down the highway can be entertaining. The devil in the details, and the magic, is making that click on screen. I think you've got it, Jack.

    Thanks!
