I had initiated that project because I had a feeling that the character I was developing in Better Call Saul was the kind of character you see in an action film. He has earnest desires and he was willing to sacrifice himself…I still train multiple times a week and if I get my way you’re going to see me doing more action. I found the action sequences a great deal of fun and close to doing sketch comedy…I love the early Jackie Chan films which had humour in them. I’d like to get that in in future.”

Dear Fonseca
Our community pool will be open for the last time this weekend. As head of the HOA, I am thinking about instituting a new rule next year that prohibits some of the mothers from wearing thongs and cheeky bikinis. Cheeky as in, I can see most of your butt cheeks. I don't think it's appropriate that they wear these kind of bathing suits in a public setting when kids are around. I privately brought it up at our last meeting and some of the other board members agreed with me. Those, who didn't say I have no right to judge and if no one complains than it's not an issue. Should mom's be wearing these kinds of bathing suits at a public pool? Am I discriminating?
