And another one – The stars must be aligning!

I just found out that a college in New Hampshire wants to do my play “Seven Short Scenes About a Man and a Sock Monkey” as part of their evening about socks! 12 more states to go!

I just found out that a high school in Oklahoma wants to do my short play “The Krampus Slander” as part of their Winter Showcase! That’s one more state checked off, only 13 more to go!

SHERLOCK HOLMES & THE CASE OF THE CHRISTMAS GOOSE is being produced in Ecuador! That means my plays have been performed in North America, South America, Europe, Asia & Australia. Do any of you have connections to theaters in Africa or Antarctica?

Sheena started an argument with a dog in Argentina. I was on a work call and she barked. The long-distance doggie barked back. Sheena answered. The Argentinian dog replied. And so on and so forth. No idea what the dispute was about, maybe which country has the best steakhouses?

So, you don't think I know how to read, do you?
Well, come to after-words bookstore next Thursday And I'll prove you wrong! (maybe)

This Fall, some of my writing is going to the moon aboard the Griffin spacecraft! I’m sending 2 plays and 1 story. They’ll be including 99 other playwrights, and the complete works of some hack named Shakespeare.

It'll be like a time capsule on the lunar surface. Kinda neat.

Re-watched THEY LIVE tonight. Kinda weird that one of the evil alien oligarchs says they'll own everything by 2025.

Gonna watch David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE. Hopefully, that will help this cold, miserable day make sense.

Happy Birthday to one of the writers of 1978's ZUMA BEACH - John Carpenter! I'm not sure if they ever did anything else.

RIP David Lynch - One Of A Kind.

Happy Walter Hill's Birthday to all who celebrate.

Just a friendly reminder - 1984's TRANCERS is a Christmas movie.

I did my duty as a good horror fan and watched a Friday The 13th film on Friday The 13th - but, man, those movies are awful!

This weekend, Sherlock Holmes finally makes his debut in England. I wonder what the Brits will think of this consulting detective?

Is this the year we finally get A VERY HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN CHRISTMAS?

I hope the last line of the last episode of COBRA KAI is, "Yes, Mercy."

Just got a request to perform my play “Azzmetta Abbington’s Mistletoe Meatballs” from Theatre & Dance council at the University of Nevada, Reno. They sound a lot like the Student Theatre Guild at SIU back in the day. Pretty cool.
