Josh and I watched Titanic tonight for the Film School podcast. Did we cry? ...you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out. I realized...I haven't seen that movie since probably 1998. 21 years? Whenever it first came out on video, that's probably when I last saw...

Cooper always waits for permission to come up onto the bed. Every night. He'll sit by the edge of where Liz sleeps and stare at me until I invite him up. And then he curls up right next to her pillow, and begins to give himself a bath. This. Dog. It's going to be a...

I'm going to be working with another author on Escape From Red Tower. Not as a co-author. Traditionally, you'd consider the kind of work we're going to do together as an author / developmental editor relationship, but this person doesn't call himself that. He calls it...

Jesus. Chernobyl is intense. We killed dogs this episode. Pet dogs. Don't get me wrong, the show is really, really good. It's the right kind of horrifying, the kind of horrifying that exposes truth and changes policy...which that disaster did. I worked today and...

Watching Chernobyl and...yikes. I mean, I've read about the disaster. Can't remember why I read about it, but it wasn't that long ago. I learned about the test gone wrong, how the firefighters could taste metal in their mouths and how they died excruciating deaths...

I had a much more productive day at home today. AND, I got to go see Liz at work with her new cast and crew. Merry Happy Whatever is the name of the show. Coming to Netflix this...holiday season? Not sure about that last part. We'll see. Cooper's been feeling under...

I had an interesting day today. I struggle to work from home. I'm not used to it now. I realized acutely today that I depend on going to work to get me into the working mindset. Which is, I guess, just a representation of how my work-at-home life has evolved over the...

Le sigh. Has to be another quick entry because it's so late already. Josh and I podcasted Easy Rider. It was...a trip. We had a blast watching it, and even more of a blast talking about it and "genre" beforehand. Odd day for me. I felt like I had to clean and...

Doing a quick one tonight because it's late, but today...was a great day. I did some writing. And I think I know, really for the first time, with clarity, why this Escape From Red Tower book has been so far to write. I've pinpointed the emotional truth that I haven't...
