People are telling Tim Cook stories. I got one. One year for SF Pride Tim was visiting with employees and their families before the parade. I got in line to say hi and he asked if I wanted a photo. I said no, I just wanted to give him a hug. So we hugged and then took a photo.
I had an opportunity to complete the funding for 2 ukuleles for a 3rd grade class so each student could have their own. Imagine my surprise when these โthank youโ cards arrived. I need to get a second refrigerator so I can hang them all. โค๏ธ @donorschoose.bsky.social #ShareThanks
Just stumbled across this audio. In 2022 I was trying to restart my old podcast and created this sound file. I remember how long it took to find all these clips. Makes me realize I may actually like production more than performing!
Just walked out of Marty Supreme. I never do this. It was simply too disturbing to stay. An endless assault on my senses I was becoming more and more agitated and uncomfortable.
Chalamet is terrific.
Waiting for some routine service to be completed and noticed this tableau. Feels like an apt metaphor for the current state of our country.
I will not be taking questions at this time.
Just walked over to the large window in my office overlooking the street and started banging it while shouting โElaine!!! Elaine!!!โ
I realized no one had the slightest idea what I was doing and it made me laugh.
This is Frankie. He is a very good boy. When the fence came down Frankie would hang around when I was out back so I started giving him treats. Last week the fence was repaired but they refused to make a Frankie window. Now treats go through a knothole and it feels dirty.
Woke up this morning to the surprising news that Iโm two years older than Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
He worked with some of the greats. Coppola. Levinson. Lumet. And Irwin Allen.
RIP Robert Duvall
Itโs 2am. Iโm awake with insomnia & anxiety after dealing with non-heart related chest pains for 3 days. Apropos of exactly nothing I pick up my guitar and start figuring out how to play โPlease Come To Bostonโ by Dave Loggins by ear. I feel better. The universe is magic. I think I can sleep now.
I think theyโre gonna make itโฆ

I do, though not often enough (maybe this weekend). But I silently sing your praises every time I do, and feel so clever whenever someone says, โโฆ but have you been to Mori Point?โ
The amazing @lorak.bsky.social introduced me to Mori Point during the pandemic (even though Iโd lived in the Bay Area forever.) And today I learned thatโs where the final scene in Harold and Maude was filmed.
RIP Bud Cort. Your work in this film remains unparalleled and a cherished memory.
Went to a comedy show to see a comedian I thought was woke. Turns out heโs just an antisemite. Understandable mistake. Wonโt happen again.
Was just looking up a semi-famous person who disappeared from public life and came across some troubling details and the voice in my head piped up,
"Well that explains it... they're a f*cking idiot."
Someone Iโm friendly with is on the list. They were very excited. Iโm very disappointed.
Seat selection screen for the Melanoa movie with all seats empty except two together in the center of the very back row
Think of it this wayโฆ weโll be able to tell our kids they were conceived at the Melania movieโฆ
I recently watched a colleague get married on Zoom. It was a Jewish service and when the rabbi said, โโฆit reminds me of the story from Genesisโฆโ the voice in my head said โโฆwhen Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel?โฆโ
I keep telling you thereโs something wrong with me.
In my 30s I decided I needed to visit the ocean on New Yearโs Day. From Boston I would drive to Cape Cod. Now I come to Santa Cruz.
Hereโs wishing everyone a healthy, joyous, & fortunate 2026.
โThere's only one rule that I know of, babies-God damn it, you've got to be kind.โ KV
Hanukkah menorah with all eight candles lit for the eighth night
Yet is it far better to light the candle than to curse the darkness.
Chag Urim Sameach!

So rather than calming the Monkey Mind weโre feeding it tons of sugar washed down with a strong cup of coffee, a line or two, some Sudafed because now your nose is all stuffed up, and maybe a few pieces of nicotine gum to take the edge off.
Small return favor for all the times Iโve felt the same about something you posted.
Keep on wafflingโ in the free world!
As today is Thanksgiving here in the US it is constitutionally mandated that you listen to Arlo Guthrieโs โAlice's Restaurant Massacreeโ at least once.
Sorry. I donโt make the rules. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
