As I’ve gotten older I’ve had a harder and harder time with the concept of hope. Read too much. Too many newspapers. Tough world. I hope things will work out but I’m not surprised when they don’t. I hope for the best but I prepare for the worst. Read More

I recently was coerced by fate, availability and the lovely wife into taking the dogs “for an outing”. Something important was happening at the homestead and the Doodles, who consider it their canine duty to bark like mad banshees when people come to the house, were not invited. Not knowing Read More

I had one of those soul squeezing moments this morning. In fact, am still in the midst of one. A soul squeeze is when something BIG doesn’t quite compute. There’s something wrong with the equation, with the moment. Something on the spiritual plane is out of wack, out of sorts, the scale’s broken. Read More

Guess what? The Walt Disney Company makes something in the neighborhood of 6 billion dollars a year from their theme parks. Six Flags Magic Mountain nets 42 million from roller coasters. Sea World generates about 180 million from fish. Read More

Pretzels and peanut butter and snacks and late night feasts and carne asada burritoes for lunch aside, I find it surprising that after all the years of anti-dieting, I should now gain weight. Because in truth I eat far less and far more healthy than I ever used to. The lovely, vegetarian wife, who at Read More

As is often the case (and I’m good at it), I have done something wrong headed, blind and/or stupid. Probably all four. That I have unsuspectingly done this makes no difference. I am dealing with the consequences. What have I done, you ask? I have inadvertently and unknowingly got on an internet mailing list. Every Read More

A sign of age is that we start talking about it. But what the heck, I’m allowed. I was watching PBS last night. One of those shows they put on and then keep interrupting to exhort you to contribute money. In return, they give you something. Last night Read More

Let’s not talk about writing. Let’s talk about the fact that making a living as an actor can really take it out of you. I’m thinking of two friends. The first graduated from Julliard, one of the most prestigious programs in the country, when he was in his early twenties. Read More

And how are you today? I don’t know, what day of the month is it? What day of the week? What hour of the day? I have, in my life, been diagnosed with recurrent depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and ADHD. Labels, all and I have no use for labels. All I know Read More
