Yesterday, Susan spoke at the Goddess Collective in Oakland.  She was (as always) beyond amazing, inspiring, and nourishing –– but today Belle and I are exhausted from our appreciation level.   [Our friend Amy Ahlers spoke right before her and was also sensational.] First, the Go...

Well — it’s not brilliant YET (my script, that is) but in days, mere days, it will be. Suddenly it was 2 am last night and I’d hit a solid 75% or more of the script at 172 pages and I just had to stop.  I calculate we’ve only another 30-40 pages to go before the massive condens...

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 ...

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...

Sometimes it is hard to tell them apart. But Voltaire wrote, “Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien.” (“The better is the enemy of the good.”) While Jim Collins said, “Good is the enemy of great.” I thought of both today during my last “on the schedule” Lotus class....

Went swimming for the first time since mid-summer and it was fantastic. I have been feeling a bit jealous of Belle’s swimming career, although I am not quite brave enough to venture into the Bay to join her. An extraordinary Yelp offer ($55 for a massage and one month of a gym membership) yielded an ...

            Like Tintin, I awoke today and immediately did a long (6 minute) headstand. Apparently Tintin also does yoga in another one of his adventures, again without any explanation –– it’s just sort of happening and no one remarks or even seems to notice it. Belle...

First, I think it’s only fair to say that I’ve accepted that my best guy friend Dan has been abducted by aliens. There’s really no other explanation for 2 days without communication, particularly given that he’s in Sedona. And, more importantly, quite frankly that’s what he...
