You Know What It’s Like…

Where’s the Glow?

So.  This is the first of what I assume will be many postings related to kids and parenting. (If you didn’t know… well… SURPRISE… We’re 6 months pregnant!) As my wife and I march closer to the birth of our little man, the changes are …

Where Were You…

I’m a child of 80s pop culture. Those were my defining years. And I’m a story teller and filmmaker, so the films from that era shaped me. And the iconic films of the 80s were mostly made by one man, John Hughes. He died suddenly …

Enormous Moving Trucks and You…

All you need is a driver’s license and credit card in order to put yourself in a vehicle the size of your local highschool gym.  No special training.  Not even a pamphlet. So after my recent excursion in the biggest rental trucks available I offer …

How Long is Too Long…

When I moved to Los Angeles I had my share of nay-sayers. Some folks in influential or mentor-type roles really questioned my thinking. I was 23 years old and “following a dream”. One in particular asked me “How long do you intend to do this?” …
