Sarah and I swung by the BMW dealership since I’m contemplating a mini-Cooper. What’s astonishing is that we were basically TOTALLY ignored, even though I was pretty direct about being ready, willing, and able to buy. Are things really going THAT well for the folks at San Francisco BMW?  [It ma...

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved, Marina Abramović The Artist Is Present. I started out merely curious and then became passionately involved. I don’t think the trailer fairly represents the film in terms of its impact and emphasis (there’s too much about the “shock” ...

Oddly, my check for the copies of UPWARD DOG that Cavallo Point purchased for my signing event in August was made out to “Upward Dog.” I’m still going to try and cash it –– but honestly, doesn’t it seem clear that that is the title of the book versus the author’s n...

Today, I actually got down to it –– that is revising the 358 pages of my novel as per my new agent’s minor but important suggestions –– and it was intense and kinda amazing. There was A LOT of subconscious resistance to this.  Like every character on every Bravo show, my ...

Call for Desperate Measures. Specifically, I realize –– as per all my David Neagle insights re: subconscious at work to prevent my self-actualization –– that I have been dragging my heels a bit on the novel polish. Granted, I was insanely busy around my birthday, and then NYC was a ...

Until I get through the first six episodes of this season’s TRUE BLOOD. Even though my college friend Jessica Tuck — aka “Nan Flanagan” — met the “True Death” at the end of last season, I decided to give the series a second chance. (The last season was so OVER THE ...

Belle and I awoke for our morning client at 9 am. Then several hours just organizing all that I have to do + responding to basic emails. Got my plane ticket to Seattle for the Alaska cruise in August, although postponing the return flight until plans are more solid. An auspicious return to Bikram, where so...

NYC and the wedding were amazing. And now back with Belle in San Francisco, which — despite how much I loved my centuries in NYC ––  really, really does feel like Home. And now –– sleep!
