Home From War

Two female Marines, wounded in Afghanistan, meet each other in a US Army Hospital, in Landstahl Germany, on their way home. Eager for their daughter to return, her parents and boyfriend look forward to Joanne (Jo) picking up her life where she left it before going to war.

Before It's Too Late

Grandpa and Louie, his grandson, go to movies and share a joy of fly fishing, highlighted each year with a trip to Big Bear Lake to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. Louie's parents, and even Louie, begin to notice Grandpa's driving skills are deteriorating. How do they tell him, a decorated WWII fighter pilot, that now he may not even be able to drive a car? Tension builds within the family as they grapple with this difficult issue. Grandpa must face this with the same strength and intelligence he has handled problems throughout his life; but this is not easy. A once in a lifetime decision to give up the car keys, we will all have to make, before it’s too late.

This is a love song between his car and its aging driver who must now give up his car keys.
