Above and Beyond

Fans of George Clooney will enjoy the following true story I heard the other day from a friend in the biz:

The Make-a-Wish Foundation asked Mr. Clooney if he would take a minute to meet with a sick child who dreamed of meeting him more than anything. Clooney was happy to oblige. However, he told them, he would like to pay to upgrade everything that was being arranged for the family: fly them first class, put them up in the famed Chateau Marmont, and have a limo take them around instead of a cab.

When the family leaves the airport and gets to the limo, George Clooney is waiting inside. He takes them out to dinner before they are dropped off at the hotel. The next morning the limo pulls up and Clooney takes the family out to breakfast before driving with them to the set, where he embarks on a long day of shooting.

The only thing that had ever been asked of George Clooney was to say hello to this child when he came to set. Something tells me the kid went home happy.
I get to stare at that face all... day... long.

If you're in need of a belly laugh, please check out this video of my friend Jolly-B performing at a family reunion talent show. It might help to shut the office door and turn your speakers up. Also, you may enjoy the video more with the knowledge that Jolly-B is not hearing-impaired or mentally challenged; that the reunion takes place in Wisconsin; and that the family in question is actually her boyfriend T-finger's, most of them meeting her for the first time. Obviously, she was a hit.
