Just finished a terrific book, Homeseeking by Karissa Chen.

The only Ponzi scheme is how the rich get away with paying only 1% of their Social Security tax.

Hampton Dellinger definition of John Lewis’ Good trouble.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

My biggest takeaway from a zoom tutorial on Filming, Editing & Publishing Reels given by my publisher @regalhouse.bsky.social was that short dynamic reels that end with a call to action perform best. Keep it under a minute.

The news is freaking me out. Feel like I am on the edge of despair. Agree we need some daily press briefings of how democracy is being saved. Nominate @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Why can’t the Dems hold a daily press conference on what they are doing to save Democracy? What’s stopping them?

For Valentine's Day, I'm getting a dozen eggs instead of a dozen roses -- and I feel fine :-) Eggs are the new truffles.

People marvel -- why do I still write letters (snail mail). So much life rushes by us, we're squeezed thin by time and pressure, 1000s of demands. The act of writing a letter to someone is capturing a moment in time and space. Cheever said letters are kisses.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

I was honored by the Kennedy Center for my play JUNK BONDS. Now I’m deeply saddened and horrified by the purging of the board who represented bipartisan support of the arts.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Score! Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara for Michelob Light making old people look good! Ooh I liked that Nike commercial with the female superstar athletes to Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"

I saw Joseph Rosendo's travel episode on Cadaques, Spain and he treats you to a tour of Dali's house. Now, I want to go. TV is dangerous for you! LOL #travel #JosephRosendo #Dali #Cadaques #Spain #CostaBrava

Should we stay or should we go? Found out my mortgage broker moved to Clarksville, TN!

I started a new screenplay today. Yes. Stared down the apocalypse and blank page. The only way through hell is to keep on marching. Keep on thinking.

Dance Me To The End of Love by Leonard Cohen is brilliant and feels so right today.

A break from the winds allowed me to do a rewrite of A LETTER IS A SMILE IS A LAUGH...I wrote it during Covid, and it needed an update. Living through a different kind of pandemic, locked down due to smoke, fires, PM2.5., terror, depression, devastating loss. But hey, the work is still a comedy.

Last night I dreamt I was visiting Anthony Bourdain who was living in Phoenix. This morning, the winds are so fierce and destructive, we could all land in another state.

Ode to Joy. Last year I vowed to find joy every day and write it down for 100 days. Did it for a project at LaMama. No idea I would want to do it again. To survive on 2025.

The news was getting me down so I watched Red One. A lot of fun.

Teaching myself to play Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys. Music replenishes the well. #music #empirestateofmind #aliciakeys

Friend’s 86 y o Asian American mother was punched in the face by a homeless man in Old Town Pasadena. She stoped eating and drinking. Worried about her regressing. Praying for recovery and justice

A personal favorite. The older I get, the more poignant it becomes...
