Cormac McCarthy and son John

Cormac McCarthy and his son John Francis McCarthy sitting next to Caroline and I in Tempe, Arizona for a screening of Cave of Forgotten Dreams

First, we run into Werner Herzog, then the next day we meet Hugh Downs and British philosopher AC Grayling before sitting down to listen to Jean Auel, author of The Clan of the Cave Bear. Next up, after taking our seats for a screening of Cave of Forgotten Dreams, these two gentlemen turn down our row. Had Director Werner Herzog not pointed him out the night before, I surely wouldn’t have recognized him. As they moved down our row, sure enough, they stopped right next to us and took the first two empty seats. I complimented him about the reading Mr. Herzog did of All The Pretty Horses on Science Friday a couple of days before and asked if it would be OK if I snapped a photo of him and his son, John Francis. Obviously, it was.
