Got Beeler?

Dear Mr. Bay,
Mr. Bay, I am writing you because as the director of the Transformer movies I think you are the only person that can bring my vision to the big screen. The idea for my new project came to me when seeing a trailer for “A Christmas Carol”. Here was this old Dickens novel [...]

I hate ‘re-start’ blog posts, but I have to do one. For a while, I was going at a pretty good clip, updating the site 2 to 3 times a week. That takes discipline, especially since I was doing my best to avoid “what I ate for breakfast” type posts (oatmeal, hard boiled egg, orange [...]

My wife and I have entered a new phase in the parenting of our twin two-year-olds. Gone are the days of just watching them, adoring everything they do.

My satori is this! Zen and the art of buttering bread. There’s no more knife. There’s no more bread. There’s no more butter. There is only a gesture [...]

Details as we learn them.

This Sunday I’ll be heading to Boulder for a conference. Here is my expectation of what is going to unfold (note that names have been barely changed as no one in this story is really innocent):
6:30 AM: Arrive at Newark Airport. Stop at TGI Friday’s for breakfast. Waitress offers me a beer. I respectfully decline.

I always admired novelists. Their ability to create worlds from words always fascinated me and I considered literature the highest art form.
These days I can’t even look at a book. They seem so undisciplined with all those paragraphs and pages. All that character development and imagery. An author can write for months - if not [...]

Well, it’s open - that doesn’t mean it’s actually finished. Ad Beeler is happening this year in Boulder, Colorado in August and if you’re going, you might be wondering what to wear:
 
Not sure whether or not to buy one? Consider the possible options:
You are the only one who buys one. You will be [...]
