I still, from time to time, take out and watch the CBS broadcast of the 5th and deciding game of the Cavs-Bulls 1st Round series. The excitement never gets old, even after countless viewings. Jordan hits the apparent winner with 6 seconds left ... only to have Craig Ehlo take the lead back with 3 seconds left ... to set up the famous shot at the buzzer by MJ. Coincidentally, ESPN's showing it again now.

As an aside, the game telecast before that game was the 5th game between the Hawks and the Bucks which has to be the one of the dullest games I ever sat through from start to finish. The Bucks, with three key contributors missing, upset the heavily favored Atlanta with Dominique Wilkins, Doc Rivers and Moses Malone.

How did someone with a philosophy degree wind up being a producer? That's a different combination!

My degree is in Drama and I wrote my Phd thesis on a film topic, but I  became a producer because a friend asked me to come to Hollywood and work with him. Basically nepotism but he wasn't a relative.   Until then I had been an academic but always interested in film and working on the periphery of he business-- eg as a critic and writer and distributor while I was teaching.

Sorry, in the dim recesses of the past, I thought I semi-remembered that you were working on a philosophy degree.
