It’s hard to believe that, in a little over a week, I won’t be able to shout out these people anymore.  I’m already tearing up.

October 2, 2018: Trailers for stuff I’m looking forward to!

I remember when I used to have time to go see movies, watch t.v. shows, AND read books?  And although those days may seem long and gone, I expect they will return sooner than later.  And, when that day comes, these are a few of things I look forward to checking out…

October 1, 2018: The Akemi Street Tour!

Akemi has never met a piece of graffiti art she hasn’t liked.  Inevitably, whenever she spots some, she bounds over and expects me – and my phone camera – to catch up.

Here is the latest installment in an ongoing series…

September 30, 2018: Suji Sunday!

She plays hard to get…

Snoozing with sis…

Tomorrow, the dogs will play while dad’s away.  Back in the writers’ room!

September 29, 2018: Back on the horse!

I was feeling better this morning but didn’t want to risk a relapse, so I eaaaaased back into my eating routine…

Dinner at Piano Piano.

Desserts at The Dessert Kitchen.

Accompanied by our culinary wing-couple, Nicole and Joseph, visiting from Vancouver.

Well, it’s almost 9:30 p.m.  We just got in.  And I can look forward to a nice relaxing evening of writing an outline.  Unless, of course, I won the lottery!

Hang on.

No, never mind.  Writing an outline it is.

September 28, 2018: Oh boy!

Hey, you know that feeling of overwhelming fullness you chalk up to overeating or a spicy meal or a week’s worth of bad coffee and wholesale chocolate chip cookies that actually turns out to be food poisoning?  Well, that’s what I’m feeling right about now.

Was it the spicy pork?

The sushi I had for lunch?

Or – ironies of ironies! – the sliced cucumber adornments that accompanied tonight’s dinner?

I’ve been down this road, people!  I recognize the signs!  Feeling overstuffed, even though I didn’t eat all that much.  Sore.  Lightheaded.  Slower to solve complex algebraic equations.

It’s like that time I had the sketchy ground chicken.  Or the time I had that suspect kebab.   Or that time I had the bad ramen.  Or the time I had that other bad ramen.

September 27, 2018: The Weekday Update!

The writers’ room continue to roll!  Today, we broke yet another episode and covered a lot of ground: truths, twists, and, of course, Orange Sam.  I mean, check out the action…

Let me break it down for you: R.T. cracking the whip, Alejandro considering a cookie, Natalia moved to tears by my brilliant idea, and Courtney reconsidering her lunch choice.

Hey, speaking of lunch, check out this beauty…

Burgers’ Priest‘s The Vatican City: A double cheeseburger sandwiched between two grilled cheese buns.

Finally – while the focus on breaking, outlining, and scripting eats up much of my day, I still make time for the important things: sleep, loved ones, and fantasy football.  My defending champion Snow Monkeys are off to a hot start!

Things Agreed Upon in the Writers’ Room!

When you gather up a roomful of talented but very opinionated writers and put them to work on a show, you’re bound to run into more than a few disagreements.  Often, heated debates ensue and, after much back and forth, consensus is reached – perhaps grudgingly on the part of certain participants.  There are those occasions, however, when writers will be presented with an idea so true and clear that support for the notion proves instantly unanimous.  To date, in our writers’ room, these are the handful  of ideas that have received general approval…

10:00 a.m. is a better time to start the writer’s room than 9:00 a.m.

Most of the tea sold at David’s Tea isn’t really tea at all.

Those flavored no-cal sparkling waters are fantastic.

Parenthood isn’t for everyone.

Cauliflower stew is a terrible lunch option.

And that, off the top of my head, is about it.

Thanks to everyone who offered their excellent restaurant recommendations and culinary offerings.  Looks like I’ll be criss-crossing the globe for gumbo, lasagna, and apple muffins!

Hey, anyone familiar with the beautiful Buffalo area?  Is there anything I should check out while I’m in town?  Something I absolutely, positively canNOT miss?  What is Bison City’s best restaurant?

Okay.  Good to know!
