My brother Kaylan and I were invited to travel through the slums, poverty, injustice, oppression and the hope found in India through the lens of film maker Danny Boyle. Mr Boyle is one of my favorite directors, known for such films as Sunshine, 28 Days Later, Millions, The Beach, and now Slumdog. NOW, i dont want to give away the film so ill refrain on laying out personal thoughts, but i will say that Slumdog to date is my best film for 2008..

Hello everyone,
We are all enjoying a white December in Portland, half the time i think we have entered Narnia especially when the street lights illuminate the snow covered roads. Each day the kids are leaving foot and body molds inviting the snow to narrate their laughter and play to those who walk by.
Even though we have indulged in this heavenly gift of white, it eventually morphed into the silent nemesis known as water. Without invitation the quiet foe found small openings in our roof, calling forth its watery tribe. They descended down our walls and gathered under the carpet catching our feet by surprise. So, the wet war began. We tore into their fortress by lifting back its protective layering (our carpet and padding) and began throwing our towel bombs over it, soaking up its front line. After scaling their defensive walls (our attic/ladder/rooftop outside) we secured sniper position and sent our intel squad to locate their entry point. Due to the precision of our team (friend Rick Devries) we surrounded and they scattered (or evaporated). Damage diverted.
Following reflection. I’m reminded that the smallest of things that go unnoticed could silently gather to bring the greatest damage.
We have all enjoyed this Christmas day and hope you have as well.
with love….
Hello to each of you who have responded to the Russinger Road. Some of you are new in our lives which invites the excitement that comes with birthing relationship, and others, well, your longevity bears historical meaning which has cradled and formed us through the years. As you can see not much has been shared, but with every new day/week we will light up the road with personal reflection, process and news from/of the russinger family. Ashtin is very excited about sharing so be prepared.
We would ask that you take a few moments to read both the ‘About Us’ and ‘Support’ section as that will give you more context to what and where we are heading. We hope you will visit regularly and before you leave please register on the home page if you are wanting to receive our monthly ‘roadside’ updates.
With love,
A just one family….
