Okay, so here’s where we’re at. It’s not the hippest thing in the world, but I like it. And the kids like it. And that counts for a lot these days. It does read a little like a kid event, but that’s okay. Probably most people will show up via word of mouth anyway....

Mild Panic
I woke up in the middle of the night worried about whether I should really be putting on this show we’ve got planned for November. I want to do it because it’s a good cause and because I think it’ll be fun if it goes okay, and because the opportunity is there. On the...
Continue readingBraces
As a public service to myself and anyone who has to put up with me, I will try to have a positive attitude about this thing I’m putting in my mouth. Yeah, braces. For the next 9-12 months. Why? I don’t care about my crooked teeth but I was sold on the health reasons...

Jaysis, don’t be an eejit. Get out there and ride, Sally, ride. ‘Ere’s a buke you might read in advance of the thing. Or ‘ow ‘bout this then for maps and stuff. Set it up. Do it. ...
Growing Roots and Other Worthy Orgs
This is mostly a note to self, I guess (what else is new?), but as I’ve begun to make the November benefit more public, I’ve had a couple of people approach me about other groups around town that are working with families with autism, and it’s making me wish I’d been more aware of...

We have a graphic and therefore there’s no turning back. I’m mildly terrified about getting this thing together, worried about the coordination of it and the reception and attendance. But we’ll figure it out, right? You support me? Sorry, I can’t quite hear you. I suppose if it doesn’t work out, we can...

I often try to get the kids to walk or jog with me when we’re going to school or it’s a nice morning out or there’s some kind of race or an event coming up I’d like to train for. They almost never want to do it, and I usually let it go after...

Getting ideas together for our benefit show for the Autism Society of Central Texas. Saturday, November 14th at 8pm. More ink to be spewed over the next two months. Stay tuned… ...
One Minute Play Festival tonight @ Ground Floor Theatre
It’s the second annual #1MPF and I’ve got two short (duh) pieces in it. And I’m excited to say that this year there is no nudity in either of my plays. I’d like to think that I learned from last year’s first festival in Austin, but we’ll see. And what I mean is that...

It’s been about a month since we opened GOOD WEATHER FOR BUNDT CAKES in my living room in south Austin. It was something I wanted to do, but it was an experiment and I knew there was a possibility it’d fall on its face. I feel the show was a success overall and that...
