CAT WARNING!!! (The following may contain cat-related hijinks!)
I have to many stories involving my cat right now to even feel good about myself anymore. It’s not that I’m ashamed, it’s just that even though I probably had a dozen pet cats when I was a kid, they all lived (and eventually perished by what I [...]

Philly Trip Recap

Troy and I were talking this morning and concluded that this trip was probably an unmitigated disaster on all fronts (capped off last night by me discovering that I’d lost my digital camera somewhere)

It seems that for some reason this ‘going back to Philly’ business has somehow focused me. I had the first weekend in a while where I really felt I was able to get away from things relax I’ve also started work on a new screenplay that I’m hoping is going to be a bit more [...]

Back to Philly

I made the decision to go to Philadelphia last night. I just bought a ticket, so hopefully I’ll be able to get the time off. It’s a bit of an impulsive decision, but it became clear to me during a conversation last night that if wanting Finn to be in a festival is all I [...]
