Reintroducing myself to Bluesky. Last time, there were just a few of us here. This is what I’m up to:
- Growing law firm with my excellent friends/partners.
- Storytelling. Making short films, writing quirky fiction, and making music.
- Curious about the world.
Glad to see you here. 💖💕

Sorry to get political for a moment but I cannot stay silent. As a nearly 40 year trial attorney I can say that based on the video I have seen so far of the shooting in Minneapolis, it is straight up cold blooded murder. Other video might show something different but I have yet to see it.

Jeanne Moreau: The cinema icon who defined French cool
She was the woman who lived as passionately on screen as off it, who once said of her work: ‘Making films is no longer a way of acting, it is a way of life’

My writing has suffered because I’ve been struggling with a novel interminably. I have decided to take a break and knock out some short stories. It will be good for my soul.

Next week, Studio Canal release two restored vintage Peter Sellers movies on 4K, Carlton Browne of the F.O. and 1962's Only Two Can Play. I'm reviewing the latter today; maybe not as famous as Pink Panther, Dr Strangelove or Being There, but it's just as funny. 5/5

Just over a year ago, our city watched as important communities burned to ash. Rebuilding takes a long time. Not much has happened yet to rebuild but it is all in the works. Some areas will not be the same.
