I had a busy day yesterday meeting with the production companies for both THE DATING PROJECT and THE PACT (July and September openings, respectively). Anyway, at the evening meetup and rehearsal I was gifted this mug. I would be happy to have this as an epitaph, so… I feel like I’ve finally made it....

I got a modest commission to create a spec script for a Portland-based sitcom to highlight the personality of that coastal town (and maybe take some attention away from Portlandia on the OTHER coast). Some initial title ideas: Portland, the Other White Meet Bay Island Ferry Chebeague Island Don’t Come to Peaks Island Breezed...

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but our team qualified for the Softball World Series again this year. We barely squeaked out a win in our final qualifying game. This will be the third year we’ve made it since I’ve been with the team. First it was Kansas City, then Columbus. And this year...

A little late with an update here, but managed a 13-mile run on December 31st (hello 13/31) remotely and in pieces this year. I was in California and started on a 13.4 mile trail around the Briones Reservoir Loop Trail (below). However, about two miles in, I ran into an impassible mudslide and had...

I was cleaning up a bookshelf recently and stumbled on an old magazine and brochure from back when I was, ahem, a big-time New York model. In fact, I was working for The Princeton Review at the time, and they were putting together some print ads, and Management decided that the agency we’d hired...

A few days ago I learned that one of my best friends growing up has an advanced form of incurable cancer. I probably spent more time with this guy from 7th to 12th grades than with any other non-family person. Truly formative years. The news hit hard, of course, and I’m still digesting it,...
