  1. Two news shows written, delivered, and in the can. But not in the Bud Lime-beer ad sense.
  2. The modern world: irritated my DVR didn't realize I wanted "V," and recorded it on its own initiative. Robots are constant disappointments.
  3. My dog's official mainstream media video debut: http://bit.ly/35jzRR Filmed at the vet's office; poor guy thought hind-pokery was imminent.
  4. Put my dog in video we just shot for paper. Why? Because dogs are good for 10K hits. And I'm tired of paying SAG dues for nothing.
  5. Of all the WaPo writers, I'd regard a fistfight w/ Henry Allen as an honor. You'd be struck by a very talented hand; might rub off.
  6. Met with investment adviser tonight. We had a good year compared to the previous, but Lazarus could have said the same.
  7. Had flank steak for lunch. Better name than "abdominal meat." Anything's better if you call it steak, even H1N1. Wouldn't mind Steak Flu.
  8. Not crazy about this early light; the day has a head-start no matter how early I get up. Prefer rising at dawn. If I have to rise at all.
  9. Did they pass a law that required all 70s movies about the 30s to contain Bruce Dern?
  10. Watching "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" It's a question that's bothered me for years, so I'm keen to see how it turns out.
  11. Putting up Christmas lights. Really. As usual, all the strands have completely griswolded themselves into one spiky bolus.
  12. Treat Report #5 Kids regard a Kit-Kat as two items, until you say they can eat only one thing. Then the Kit-Kat becomes a singular entity.
  13. Treat Report #4 Reese's Peanut Butter cups are regarded as the Faberge Eggs of Halloween candy.
  14. Finishing up Transformers 2. Some may wonder how it was written, or directed, or rendered; I'm wondering how the HELL it was storyboarded.
  15. Treat Report #3: Giving kids gum for Trick or Treat is almost as popular as giving them stamps. Even if they are the Forever ones.
  16. @pursueliberty Candy-Corn Dots are more pliable than Bit-O-Honey, but so is a cold piece of Lego.
  17. Treat Report #2: So proud of daughter tonight when she got a tiny packet of pretzels instead of candy, and feigned great gratitude.
  18. Treat Report #1 Candy Corn-flavored Dots reflect well on neither Candy Corn or Dots.
  19. Halloween 09 http://post.ly/B8b1
  20. Busy tying dental floss to all the treats. Because this year, every child who does not say thank you will have his candy yanked back.
