Screenwriter of rambunctious eloquence. Sometimes comedy, sometimes comedic, sometimes just dramatic. Hard to believe I was a Nicholl Finalist!
Love movies, beer, music, tacos, and floating in a Texas river. BlueSky since 2023.
Occasionally sarcastic.

Offered for consideration for #TheGreyList:
QUEEN OF THE SKY
When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Sometimes I look up and discover I’ve picked more followers.
And then I laugh.

Mom could do that two finger whistle thing that we could hear a mile away. We’d usually have a bulls-horn bugle we could answer with (Horn Of Gondor type thing.) so long as we were back to the house before dusk, there was never even a question.

Those never-shared (with parents) escapades have proven endlessly useful in stories and schemes and imaginings.

I understand and happily accept that I am a slightly odd bird by popular standards but I still gotta say: if you encounter a bloviating moron spewing ludicrous nonsensical pseudo political horseshit and you are NOT mocking this dipshit to near the point of tears, I think you’re messing up.

“Patriotism is *choosing* to stay self-closeted” was not a loony claim I expected to laugh at over my fish platter today.

Many decades later occasionally some anecdote would leak out about some specific goofy adventure, and Mom (now gone) would always raise her eyes in shock and disbelief — “I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THAT!!!”
“Of course not. Wasn’t your adventure.”

It’s genuinely hard to believe how relentlessly aggressively stoopid some people are.
If you have to wake up and choose not to act on your "gay thoughts" every single day, I have news for you, pet.

I know for a fact that we let our kids roam and wander more than did a lot of our peers. It was c.2012 and we’d let the kids run free n the river— “see you at dinner. Don’t drown or get arrested.”
They all turned out as pretty damned cool adults.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Absolute truth. We’d drop our books and disappear into the cornfield, or the pine forest, or the hardwood jungle in the creek bottom. Total HUCK FINN wild roaming savages.
