July 25, 2023: Stargate, sundry lunches, and Yes/No!
Finally completed the business plan for that horror movie. It, and the budget top sheet, have gone to investors. And now…
Sis was in town for a whirlwind tour. And the Pink concert. We hit Currish Tavern and Bar Raval for lunch but, sadly, she didn’t get to sample the smash burgers at Matty’s Patty’s. Maybe next trip!
Today, it was thai lunch at Kiin with Jamie Anderson (son of Gerry!) and his writing partner, Stu who were passing through town on their way from SDCC to parts unknown.
Two more Golfing-through-the-Stargate takes…
Today’s Yes/No…

In December of 1992, a resident of Newton, North Carolina was awakened by the ringing of his bedside phone. Instead of picking up, however, he mistakenly grabbed the .38 special sitting on his nightstand and shot himself in the head. pic.twitter.com/cBcCfrtIw2

July 22, 2023: The Weeknd!
Looks like several days of heavy eating ahead.
My sister gets into town today. We have lunch plans tomorrow (Indian) and Monday (Spanish) and may squeeze in some burgers tonight if she isn’t too tired.
Tomorrow, an old friend flies in from Ottawa for the day so we have dinner plans with her tomorrow (Chinese).
Then on Tuesday, Jamie Anderson (son of Gerry!) has a one-day stopover in town with his writing partner as they head back home from SDCC, so we may do lunch and/or dinner (burgers? tacos? pizza?)
Meanwhile, I’ve got my work cut out for me this weekend. Having received input from two lawyers, I’m finishing up the business plan for my horror film this weekend. It finally goes out to investors this week. Also…
I'm going to spend the entire damn weekend trying to come up with a name for this horror movie, aren't I?

I already have a title. In fact, I have several titles. But I don’t really love any of them. I want something quick and clever that reflects the tone and premise. Easier said than done.
Today’s Yes/No…
Hot Honey Pizza? Yes/Nohttps://t.co/FGPFeKbaWE

Is an obvious yes for me, although I’d prefer to go with another maker like, say, Piano Piano up on Harbord that does a delicious version called the Sweet Hornet that includes sausage, chili oil, black olives, and honey.
