Mid-afternoon on December 31st, I played a game of Transformation with two very beautiful ladies who are two of my dearest friends — Broadway star Cristy Candler and writer/poet/yogi Sarah Herrington — and a wonderful photographer I’d just met. Towards the end of the game, I got these ...

Deep into The Newsroom  (better late than never) and wondering why it feels like I haven’t seen Jeff Daniels in anything since Purple Rose of Cairo… Finished a bureaucratic monstrosity this morning –– filling out forms requiring me to more or less minimalize my income; aka the first time I̵...

I’m just making notes for myself. Missed client call this am (still wondering what happened). Typed up all my notes from the Alaska cruise. Hot Springs (amazing experience). Nap. Great coaching session. Dinner with Sarah and Belle at Plant. Amazing LLS emails. Introduced Sarah to the awesome Randy Ra...

This morning –– an abbreviated Bikram class with Jennifer –– because I had an uncanny sense that if I showed up at the DMV at 10:40 there would be no line. And that was totally true.  I got my number and within 3 minutes I was being waited on (I guess they don’t “wait on you” but I was in...

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...

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...

While sorting through papers –– I wish I could say I were writing –– I saw through Susan’s window the true phenomenon of the parrots of Telegraph Hill.  Kind of amazing to watch them interact with the downstairs neighbors.  (You have to make sure you click on and expand photo so you can really see al...

Wrote two scenes –– well really lines/short monologues if we’re being honest–– for the new play this morning before racing off to Jasmine’s 9 am class.  A parking MIRACLE allowed me to arrive exactly on time.  Nonetheless, perhaps 85% of my waking hours yesterday devoted to brainstorming and ex...
