Eat, Drink and Be Merry…for Tomorrow, the Rules Will Change
I am officially done with my slavish monitoring of the diet and healthcare pendulum. In the space of a week, I’ve learned that drinking too much water can kill me and that I’ll live longer if I stop waging war on my love handles and embrace those proverbial “last ten...
Self Helplessness
Today is one of those days where nothing is really working. And when that happens, I generally go to my impressive (or actually obscenely large) collection of self help books, CDs, downloads, widgets, gadgets and cards and pluck something that I think is going to help...
Where Are They Now?
I confess, I am a sucker for talent shows. Okay, so they're cheesy, overproduced and hosted by vapid mannequins with serious self tanning issues. But I can't help it. Every time I see one of the hopeful contestants take the stage, I am drawn in. Not just by their...
When Life Imitates Art…And Breaks Your Heart

Mean Girls & Friendship: A Dog’s Perspective
I don’t have human children. But if I had chosen that path, I would’ve wished for one just like my friend Amy’s daughter, Audrey. She’s intelligent, sweet, hilarious, creative and can rock a pair of glasses like a mini Tina Fey. And she adores the many four legged...
Writing Past Rejection
Years ago when I was still a scripting newbie, I decided to enter a fairly well known screenplay writing contest. One of the perks of coughing up the $50 entry fee was receiving an evaluation of your script by a professional screenwriter, so I was pretty excited...
How I Got Here…In Spite Of Myself
When I sat down to write this first post, I’d thought that I was set on talking about the current state of my writing life. The novel whose characters seem to envelop me in a warm hug one moment, then kick me in the shins and run away screaming, refusing to cooperate...
