Yeah right, this guy was Bond.? Never heard of you- you’re probably thinking. Read on and you’ll see.

For pretty much all of my life-from later elementary school on I was a fan , a nerd-geek hooked on Euro spy films and of course you know who-Ian Flemings greatest creation-that gentleman secret agent. Bond, James Bond.

In fact, my buddies in the neighborhood would take turns role playing spies and counter spies. Bad guys-maniacal villains. Etc. I thought one day maybe- but that ‘ll never happen. Right?

Well, flash forward from the ’60s to oh say the late summer-early fall of 2008 and all that was about to change. A new James Bond film was coming out November. I had just transferred to the Regal theater in Ormond Beach, Florida. The GM and I had hit it off and she was interested in testing my skills at promotions. My GM over at Sanford had told her all about me, including my love of movies.
