Gone fishin’ reposts: they honeymooned in Palm Springs, Gable and Lombard. Isn’t it romantic?

How am I? Inquire at your peril.

Now listen, I don’t know if it’s hormones, or the bulletin board covered with post-its I just constructed this weekend charting out my time between now and the release date of the book, June 1st, but DAMN poppets! There’s a lot to be done. I’m beginning to see why some…

From publishing deal to self publishing in the blink of an eye. Poppets, things happen. Or Vickie Lester goes belly up, but not for long.

No matter how you design it, or chart it out, things change. This Friday, past the end of business hours I heard some astonishing news.

Need I remind you of the drill, babies? I post pictures of famous people and then I talk about myself. Shall I tell you why I still identify deeply, so deeply, with this photo by Mark Seliger for Rolling Stone of that particular trio from the X-Files? I thought you’d…
