auteur."

Word Origin.
French, 1960s

American film critic Andrew Sarris coined the term "auteur theory" in his famous 1962 essay "Notes on the Auteur Theory," and thus "auteur," which means "author" in French, was popularized in American English. As a result of this and other Sarris writings, more public attention turned to the overall craft of filmmaking instead of being focused solely on the actors.

I just got home from the VA. I am really happy. I was so worried that I have gained weight, but I have actually lost 10 more pounds. I am down to 175. That means that I am 5 lbs. away from being back at my max Navy weight. I am going to accomplish that. Also, the doc said that my heart, lungs, kidney function and liver function are good. To God be all the glory!!
I won't get to see audiology for the Tinnitus until October. Their schedule if full until then.
