Trip Jennings
Trip Jennings is a journalist, music aficionado and happily married father of two. He spends most days behaving like a grown up, but occasionally he reverts to adolescence. Like that night in New Mexico when he tried to sleep under the stars during a camping trip only to freeze after the temperature dipped to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Or that time in Red Hook, Brooklyn, when he and his friends nearly closed down a bar. Or all those moments in the car when he's sung along to songs with his son and daughter. Being all grown up is cool. But enjoying life is more fun.

    Entertainment Weekly recently featured a photo reunion of the cast from The Princess Bride, a family favorite. My wife and I still crack up at the memorable quotes, such as when Inigo tells Vizinni, “You keep using that word (inconceivable). I do not think it means what you think it means” or during this exchange between Vizzini and Westley/Man in Black: Man in Black: You’re that smart? Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Man in Black: Yes. Vizzini: Morons.  We’ve passed on our passion for the movie to our kids, who love it too. Such a fan am I that last year my wife and kids surprised me with a shirt adorned with a faux name tag that reads, “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”   Yup. I’m one of those fans.
