I mentioned they cancelled the boys’ school for a month. So… we’re playing a lot of Fortnite, I guess.

Side note: What if that first person to buy up large amounts of toilet paper just had diarrhea and everyone else misunderstood?

Anyway, heads-up to all of the irrational people who hoarded toilet paper. When my family runs out, we’re just gonna come to your house to shit.

Because of the coronavirus, my kids’ school just closed for a month. So, it looks like they’re drinking with me on St. Patrick’s Day.

My wife and I just saw our kids’ school play, which was about the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and we legit got weepy because our actual republic is being murdered by a belligerent ass-tangle.

I mentioned that both Wyatt and Boone had done some acting. We never intended for them to become actors. (For those of you outside LA, it’s something that just happens here. It’s ridiculous.)

Anyway, last year Boone was cast in a pretty rad sci-fi/horror limited series thing. The production company’s plan was to release it on Facebook Watch, but I have no idea if that ever happened. No spoilers, but Boone got to play a creepy kid. So, naturally, he was super stoked about it. Those pics were taken on set.

We told them we’d never force them to act or audition or whatever—this should be fun and if it stops being fun they should stop. But, we also told them if they’re going to do it they can’t half-ass it. They have to put in the work because, when making a film or a show or even a commercial, people count on each other to deliver their best. (Boone has since cooled on the idea of acting and is now focusing on music, but Wyatt’s still enjoying it.)

That’s our thing with most endeavors: Try it if you want, but give it your best. If you decide it’s not for you, move on.

Sounds simple, but it’s advice I wish I’d been given at their age.

e-ripley:

YANCY BUTLER as JESSIE CROSSMAN
Drop Zone (1994)

I was going to say “I can’t tell you how much Yancy Butler informed my sexuality,” but then I saw most of her early filmography actually happened in the mid-‘90s when I was in college and… No, wait… That makes sense.
