My Blog

For the past week and a half I was on the mainland visiting family, a trip that was at once wonderful and served to confirm two enormous truths in my life. First, after four-plus years in Hawaii, I am no longer cut out for the cold. (My first day after arriving Podge...

A while back I posted some of my thoughts on the creative process, stating I would occasionally revisit this to discuss various aspects of how I work. As mentioned before, I'm nowhere near boorish enough to believe anything I have to say will be of any great value to...

With so much possible fodder this week, ranging from the newly released college football playoff rankings to the impending arrival and all of the assorted trappings that accompany it, I hope you don’t mind I am sidestepped current affairs for a moment to address I...

Instead of offering my usual round of apologies for the delay in posting again this time, I am skipping straight to the punch line and offering my two excuses for the tardiness. The first, and most obvious to anybody who reads this w/ any regularity, is that I have...

This week I am back again to proffer some thoughts on something that I get asked quite often, and that is the biggest differences, to me, between sitting down to draft a manuscript and setting out to write a script. While I don't feign to be anything resembling an...

Yes, I am aware that videos twice in a row is a bit of a cop-out, but this week I got hit with this one twice in a span of about three hours. The first was by my boy down in Texas who selected it as his song of the week (I think he thought, since this is the website...

At some point, I'm sure I will sit down and give my full, unabridged thoughts on Amazon reviews, both the (mostly) good and the (occasional) bad. In the meantime though, and as I must catch a plane to the mainland shortly, I am sidestepping a bit this week and...

Aloha!! Per my previous promise, this week I am back to give my projections for the other half of what makes weekends in the fall so damn enjoyable, that being the NFL (and by that I of course mean fantasy football, after which the playoffs start and we can really...

"Dear Residents of Harbor Square: As we have once again reached that strange and magical time of the year known as college football season, I feel it incumbent upon me to once again remind you to kindly disregard any yelling, clapping, cursing, throwing of things,...

I know this is starting to sound like a broken record, but seriously…apologies for the delay between postings. As you can probably tell by my bibliography list, my output in the last year has grown quite a bit. While (hopefully) that gives you all many more pages to...

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.      It was supposed to have been a curtain call, a swan song, a final ride off into the sunset, every terrible cliché that had ever been employed to describe the moment after victory was achieved.      The plan, as originally...
