UPDATE: I got my ten names. That was fast. Oh well. You missed out. Unless we already had an exchange and you gave me your address. But may I encourage you to please buy a copy of my book in paperback? Because…uh…you need something funny to read and I have to earn a living. Read more
I am in the middle of a massive re-write of my new book which is a book of essays. My new editor had many many notes. So it has been a very labor intensive time for me. Read more

Well, its Valentines Day, almost. I’ve actually had a few nice ones in a row since I am happily co-habitating with someone I genuinely like. But as usual for me this time of year, I start thinking about the lack of reasonable romantic role models in the world at large. My family didn’t provide one.

Okay, I know it is The Superbowl on Sunday but I don’t watch any sports. There. I said it. None. Nothing. And I am fortunate enough to now live with a man who shares my lack of interest.

And maybe I will be one of the best!” And thus, in the throes of a delusional headwind, did I make a theoretical Dorito commercial that would have aired on the Super Bowl broadcast last year had I won a million dollars. Which I didn’t. Read more
A week or so ago I posted an idea I had of making myself a corporate montage. At that point I was still thinking of trying to compete with GE or AT&T or Standard Oil, image-wise. But now I have decided to try out a more honest version. Quite frankly, I think I may be breaking new ground as I doubt Exxon or Merrill Lynch have even considered going in this direction. Here is what my corporate montage really should be. Read more
I made this little film when I first learned how to edit. I still kind of like it. Especially the original sound track by Mr. Prieboy. So put your hands together and welcome to our stage Puppyboy in “I’m Forever Chasing Bottles.” Read more
