A brief list of a few things you probably didn’t want to know about me:
Drooling. These days, I drool more than a teething infant. It’s as if somebody turned on a faucet in my mouth whenever I lean my head forward. When Emma sees it happen she says “Uh oh” and grabs a napkin to [...]

Worlds are Colliding

So, there he sits, on the bench at the kitchen table, the omnipresent Coke (no ice) by his side, fully submerged in the four-color fantasy world of the modern day comic book fanboy. Notice how his gaze is transfixed, his concentration unwavering, as he soaks in every last nuanced detail on the printed page before [...]
An Unexpected Proposition
Posted in Treatments on September 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Because of my peanut and seafood allergies, I am not the biggest fan of Thai food. My dietary restrictions, as well as my relatively closed-minded sense of culinary adventurousness, limit me to only the blandest of items on the menu.

We may not have been the team with the most members in attendance this past Sunday and we may not have raised the most moolah for the cause but we were the Walk-wide leader in sporting the coolest t-shirts. And we had the cutest baby there, by far.

Just a few things to keep in mind as you watch the interview:
The 40 minutes we waited in place on the live set before our interview must have felt like 40 years to Fehmeen (who had the 17 month-old perpetual motion machine on her lap almost the entire time).
During that time, Emma gave high-fives to [...]
Finally

The long journey to the top of the best seller list has begun with the completion of my first two paragraphs (and a title page) for my memoir. Yay me and thank you for inspiring me with your postcards. Keep ‘em coming ’cause I’ve a long way to go and a lot of wall to [...]

I have the extreme good fortune of being that guy who always has things work out for him. I have noticed this inexplicable phenomena for, and I bullshit you not, decades. Here are (only) a few examples:
There was the time when I ran out of gas in my 71 Camaro on the Bay Bridge with [...]
