A wonderful weekend. I am WIPED. We did a wine tasting today, and it was a GREAT success because we ended up walking out with six wines, lol. They were all great, though. Very fresh, which is what Liz really loves. I had a killer freaking pinot from Sta Rita Hills, it...

Got to spend the whole day with my wife today. We drove up to wine country and tasted some delicious wines, we ate some delicious food, we swam in a fabulous pool, and now we’re prepping for a fabulous snooze. Happy Ten Years. We’ve needed a trip like this. Been a...

It’s our ten year wedding anniversary today. Ten years ago, right around right now, we’d just gotten married and were parting it up in Maui. One of the happiest days of my life, truly. A banner day. Today was, too! I finished my fifth novel today. Or, drafting it, at...

Reporting live from the surface of the gawdam sun tonight. It’s still…95º outside at 10:30 in the evening. Got up to 112º today, and you could feel every degree of that shit. I mean, it was HOT. The hottest it gets here in LA — though there was one year, I remember,...

I’m going to finish my book tomorrow. I think. We’ll see how long these last scenes turn out, but it really is just one more little action sequence, and then the very last scenes. The wrap-up. Setup, really, for the next book, seeing as this one is a two-parter....

I’ve been with my wife for twenty years, today. That’s including the time we spent dating. CRAZY RIGHT? Twenty years. It’s wild. So grateful for her. So grateful for the life we’ve built together. It’s late, already. We just spend like half an hour just talking about...

Fifteen pages today! Zonnkkkkkeeeddd…but yeah. I got them pages done. Just a couple more sequences one, only one of them a major one. I did not get the reading and editing done, however. It took all I had to get the fifteen pages out. So…that’s okay. That’s another...

I should hit juuuust about 100 thousand words tomorrow on the book. HOOOOOOMMMEEEE stretch. I am wiped. Fifteen pages (that’s about 3,600 words, give or take), plus another 25 pages of reading/editing. Whew. Zapped. Zonked. Zilched. I do it again tomorrow, which...

We went and saw Alien: Romulus today — it was fun! It’s not perfect, but it is WAY better than the last, most-recent additions to the franchise, which is a welcome relief. It’s back (mostly) to haunted houses in space, and that, folks, is what I’m here for. I...

Late! Time for bed…but it was a gooood Friday. Got my writing done. Scheduled myself out, actually, for the next week to get this book DONE. Gonna be a push, but I can do it. I’m so close. Podcasting was great, we watched To Catch a Thief which is just about one of...
