The day got off to an exciting start when, at a little after 5:00 a.m. this morning, I scooped up the puppy to hurry her outside for her morning pee only to lose my footing on the darkened landing and take a crazy carpet ride down the stairs - sans crazy carpet. As soon [...]

We turned off the main street and onto a back road that snaked through a heavily forested area, endlessly rising, falling, zigging and zagging - nothing but deep, dark wilderness to either side. “It’s beautiful,”remarked Larry, my driver. Hmmm. To me, it looked like an ideal place to dump a murder victim. [...]

When someone walks into your office, gives the place a once-over, and asks: “Was this place hit by a tornado?”, you know it’s time to do a little tidying up. Well as it turned out, I had the opportunity to do a little summer spring cleaning today since my planned outing to Widgen Park [...]

Well, I was back at Fuel last night for the fourth visit in about a week, this time with Fondy who had her heart set on the Cote de Boeuf. I’ll let the picture do the talking but, suffice it to say, the quality of the food and the service remains wonderfully consistent. [...]

Lawren poked his head into my office and informed us: “Claire just called. Nora and Mark would like to speak with you and Paul just as soon as Mark has finished up his meeting.” Paul and I exchanged bewildered glances. “Any idea what this is about?”I asked. Lawren shrugged back. [...]

Lately, it seems like I’ve been spending more time at local restaurant Fuel than I have at my own house. First, there was last Friday’s birthday dinner for fellow writer-producer Carl Binder. Then, Sunday night, with Fondy still in New York, I grabbed a seat in front of the big open kitchen and [...]

I’ve been busy: working on my producer’s cut of Kindred I, doing a polish on Martin Gero’s already great Harmony script, and dealing with miscellaneous publicity/production issues - but still managed to find time to send off two emails to my Nigerian penpals -
The first was to Martin Holme who wrote back, apparently unfazed [...]
