Mad Max
I spent my morning with Josh Alan Friedman. We’ve walked a similar career path. He’s ten years older than me. What he says about his life today, I figure that’s going to be me in a few years. In 1986, … Continue reading
The Girl’s Glance That Ended My Cheating Career
The only way I passed Chemistry was by “taking advantage of the surroundings” as the smart kid next to me put it in my Placer High School yearbook. My preacher daddy always warned me about cheating and I knew it … Continue reading

When Do I Trust My Feelings?
I think the only time I trust my feelings is when I determine whether or not I want a particular woman. No matter how good and kind and smart she is, if I don’t want her, there is no point … Continue reading
Party Down
Monica hosts a housewarming party this afternoon. She introduces me to her father. “Don’t be fooled into thinking that he is pious,” she says about me. “He’s truly a despicable person.” “I’ve got to write that down,” I say. I … Continue reading
