Listened to the last David Neagle Q&A call today and rather than try to get electronically called on during it to ask my question, I decided it was wiser (and more fun) to ask it turning a game of Transformation with Susan this afternoon. If you don’t know what Transformation is … CHECK THI...

Writing this while babysitting Jonah (age eight) after a stirring game of THERE’S A MOOSE IN MY HOUSE. I’d never played before but it was incredibly fun –– although slightly confusing at first –– and I’m very proud to say at the end, I had two fewer moose and trium...

Well, almost. Yesterday afternoon, I got a message saying that the Simone Dinnerstein concert was postponed because of illness.  Unfortunately, it’s now happening when Susan is teaching in Hawaii so everything must be re-conceived. And all day long I have been re-conceiving the novel as screenpl...

Yesterday I read and posted a review on amazon for Christina Lewis Halpern’s LONELY AT THE TOP, a Kindle single (which means it’s an excellent short read for $1.99). Christina is a friend of mine and she’s the sister of LLS, my creative collaborator, muse, fellow crackpot adventurer, and ...

Yesterday, right after mailing the 60 DVDs off to the Cruise line, I returned home and encountered Susan and Yofi and after a brief parking conference, went inside for ten minutes to change for Chip Conley’s book signing.

I do love Instant Netflix but sometimes their logic is fascinating. Because I liked the Comedy Central Charlie Sheen Roast, here was their latest (hilarious) suggestion for me: HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS:  “an enlightening tour of our current cosmic knowledge in this miniseries that starts with the Big B...

That’s what Dan asked when I told him how great my phone conversation was with my Producer today, a phone call she interrupted only briefly to handle a negotiation regarding the third film in a series that’s thus far grossed 1.2 BILLION dollars (I looked it up). I didn’t mention the Scotc...

This morning –– against all odds and with the defrosting still incomplete –– I awoke and rushed to HOUSE OF AIR for my 8 am boot camp class entitled AIR CONDITIONING.  [These photos, by the way, are from EXACTLY where I was jumping.] In summary:  I LOVED it. Really, my fitness goal I now realize is entirel...

Yesterday I quoted Brad Goreski saying “Cute does not pay the bills” and while I totally understand that, in my heart of hearts I just don’t believe it.  (Susan pointed it out tonight as well, just as we were about to enter a Fragrance Fest –– more on that soon). I do thi...
