I got this immediately after Putin invaded #Ukraine. And that orange moron continues to embarrass us, making the world quite shitty. Coward republicans. #Zelensky The WORLD is watching and with you, President Z!

9 yrs ago today we lost my lil brother Pauly (49) to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Forever heartbroken. His hardy laugh as big as his love of all beings & creatures. His essence finds its way into my writing, making me smile knowing how that goofball would deliver that line. 😔❤️

My 15 yr old daughter is amazing! This is her #watercolor for competition in the school district next month and if chosen will go up to state! #art #filipino

Gnocchi time! My own special recipe married with a creamy chicken, sun-dried tomato sauce. Yummmeee! #italian #cooking

Drowning in the muckity-muck of the last few weeks, here’s a watercolor WIP of my 15-yr old. #art #watercolor #filipino

Almost positive the Road Runner was driving!

It’s a good day when…thanks #fenderguitars #rock&roll #blues

Our 4hr layover in Charlotte and now all flights to DFW canx to weather is now 9hrs+, diverting to Fla, then late return home. Ugh. Not fond of holiday travel.

Sven Anarki and his beautiful brain!

Just received the notification from Sundance Film Festival that it was a pass on my sweet little short film. Guess I’ll quietly sip my homemade limoncello.

My father taught me how to make the family #Italian meatballs and sauce when I was 13. He insisted the meatballs cook in the sauce and anybody who does otherwise Should face an extreme ridicule, ha! friends and family would kill for my meatballs and sauce! I’ll make the homemade pasta 2morrow!

I just nominated @steveblame.bsky.social and his amazing script MAJOR HACKER’S WAR with its list of over 42 accolades to @thegreylist.bsky.social @bradmjohnson.com INGLORIOUS BASTERDS meets THE IMITATION GAME

Had no idea our 15yr old shark was even expecting! The tooth fairy payouts will sink us! #JAWS

I just submitted @svenanarki.bsky.social THE TRIAL OF EDGAR ALLAN POE to @thegreylist.bsky.social why? Because it’s so amazing, unique, and hugely entertaining! My most favoritest writer! @bradmjohnson.com

My 15yr old daughter leaves this for me this morning. Her way of telling me she’s not going to school. Brilliant!

Today my Dad would be 105yrs old. One of the first Americans in Paris for their liberation from the Nazis, he was teamed with 2men & 1woman from the FFI(FrenchForces of the Interior) to take out Nazi snipers shooting at celebrating Parisians in the streets. Always my Hero, Pops.
