I loved the moment when Elaine Stritch on 30 Rocks says to Jack’s wife Avery who’s expecting:  “Remember, when you’re pregnant, it’s only one bottle of wine a day, AND THAT’S IT!” Yesterday, I began my juice cleanse –– if you read my Unauthorized Bio on this site y...

No Oscars for us on Sunday night. Instead, Adrian and Belle and I went to the rescheduled Simone Dinnerstein concert at the Montalvo Arts Center, an easy hour drive from San Francisco into bucolic countryside. It’s your basic Italianate villa on 175 acres that a Senator built in the 20s and left to t...

So yesterday I received about 200 messages congratulating me for the appearance of my dropback painting in the New York Times.  It was fantastic and a little overwhelming. We’re talking about my speed dials & people I haven’t spoken to in 20 years;  people I’ve just met & folks I&...

Woke up this morning with a rough plan of the day sketched out at dinner last night with Adrian, mostly of some work I had to do [more screenplay edits + a bid for a small directing gig … that sort of thing] and a list of various activities for us during his visit. Then, while checking email from my ...

Woke up this morning to good news:  we have a foreign sales agent for UPWARD DOG. I love foreign sales because besides sharing the book with more people, it’s also pretty much Found Money.  You’ve done the work already, so it’s like extra windfalls of cash. YOGA IN BED & YOGA FOR SUI...

First, one absurdly simple solution to a problem occurred today –– a spa MIRACLE as it were –– that I’m not going to relate in full here but … let’s just say it’s VERY good news and solved my biggest cash flow problem of the week effortlessly and unexpectedly...

Last night I re-watched SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, a movie I really do think is fantastic.  The more you know about Shakespeare, the better it is, but even if you know next to nothing, I think it shows what the artist’s life is like better than anything else I can recall (at least MY life, that is.) I love...

At last … Had my third meeting with the wonderful Raymond Davi today where we completed an elevator pitch/positioning statement that I actually love. I cannot tell you the sense of relief this provides me with — SERIOUSLY. For one thing, it relieves me of the burden of having to define myself a...

A while ago I’d discussed a possible promotion with Donna Karan’s people — they gave me all the clothes for the YOGA FOR SUITS DVD which we haven’t released yet — and then all parties got busy and the promotional ideas more or less faded to the back burner. Given my passion fo...
