I designed a new business card for myself today, figuring that I might really want something new and fresh for the conference panel I’m moderating in two weeks. I was choosing between fonts and found myself deeply attracted to Handel Gothic, one I’d never used before. Well, I love Handel and al...

This morning, Belle and I prepped for the arrival of LLS & Philip –- shopping for Canadian delicacies at Whole Foods, etc. –– and then a mini-jump rope session, before heading off to Stinson Beach to celebrate my college roommate’s birthday. That drive is unbelievably spectacular, almost too gorg...

The Blue Angels, specifically. They spooked Belle when they started at 1pm today, but then she recovered. It was weird because she reacted way before I could remotely hear the sound of their roars and I wondered just what was frightening my little dog. But then when Belle and I went to the beach at 3:50, t...

Went for my second floatation session today at Zazen –– miraculous because I bought the groupon, and then they screwed up the location and gave me a freebie, so my savings is astronomical. In a way, since I still teach 2.5 people yoga privately just to “stay in the game,” I’m ...

Belle woke me at 6 am –– after I’d stayed up until 2 am working on the new script –– and so I “went with it” and continued structuring the new play while it was still dark until I felt semi-spent again. There’s a particular quality of sleep that happens when ...

10/01 … (and we can throw in an occasional “2”) 10/01/12 OK –– it’s 12:12 am and time to start writing the new script … like FOR REAL.

And by that I mean, Belle stopped by Bikram today. I realized –– mid-morning –- that I must have forgotten my soaking wet trunks at the studio after last night’s 4:30 – 6 pm class. And that they were in a little plastic bag. And thus fermenting. And so, Belle and I swung by to...

Here’s what’s interesting: In March I bought a Groupon for a one month gym membership + massage for $55 –– which is like half the price of a massage –– and today I took advantage of it (the massage portion). As I’ve often remarked these days, I’ve been deeply inspired by the Abraham...

So wise today that I decided to watch again THE LADY IN QUESTION … IS CHARLES BUSCH. He is a genius –- and there’s a hint of this in the trailer for the documentary: And it’s funny because with the novel/movie going out soon to the world, I’ve been asking myself “What&#...
