“It’s not really a climbing film—I’m not a mountaineer. What I was interested in was his story—a very human story about he and his wife and his dream,� said the Scottish-born Geffen. Geffen began pursuing the story after U.S. climber Conrad Anker found Mallory’s body 800 feet below the top of Mount Everest in 1999—75 years after Mallory’s fateful attempt.

I’ll share a couple of mine with you in just a minute so you can hold me accountable. Before that, however, I want to share resolutions I would like others to make—earnestly and publicly—as we head into 2011. On the federal level, may it be resolved that: 1.
