A day or so ago, I finally downloaded WORDS WITH FRIENDS and almost instantly my friend Brandin found me and started a game. Then I logged into Facebook and another friend found me –- Sophie Chiche who did our INTERVIEW for her great site LIFE BY ME –– followed by Val last night when I mentioned I was play...

This morning began with a tremendous reunion, with Emily Stone –- friend, supporter, and one of the first buyers of my visual art, recently portrayed in the New York Times.    (And by this article, she has outed herself as “not poor” in the yoga community –– so brave!). Emily is so smart and so...

Tonight I was chatting with Dan on the phone about his new-found love of yoga, and I said something that was utterly preposterous, even in context.   Something like, “Well, my opinion here might be a little outside the norm” –– as though ANY of my opinions are anything but. But I’ve had m...

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...

It’s now such an ironclad convention lately in every single TV show or movie where there’s a “winner” to show the final three contestants, one after the other. The winner is NEVER the last one you see before the announcement.  It’s always the second to last one. This makes sen...
