Jeremy Lin is why I loooove sports!

Whole Foods checker: "Do you need validation?" I reply: "We all do." Life sometimes imitates a Woody Allen movie.

@michaelbrunker I am always pleased to help the Jackie Robinson YMCA. Ps go to my website scottsimonbooks.com for contact info-

More 8yr old humor: what did Pink Panther say when he stepped on dead ant? "Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant..."

Entertaining wife's Paris cousin. Daughters show him iFart app. Can tell he regrets Napoleon ever sold midwest to US.

Also: laughs at his own version of Tambourine Man (&LNimoy's Proud Mary). Sez they once turned down Kirk-Spock opera project!

Esp moving talking about his tinnitus. Helped us understand why it drives many people to despair. But he say: it can be mastered.

Wm Shatner was delightful. Sez 'cocky" image sheer compensation for fear of failure (not sure I quite sign on to that, but-)

The worst part about having multiple personalities is eating at a restaurant alone but getting an automatic 20% tip added to the bill.

@Shannon_R_Terry No bigger sports fans on earth than you folks in Australia. One of (many) traits we share (and Naomi Watts)

Interviewing William Shatner today. Any questions to suggest? Beam them up to this Scotty!

Marital conversation: "Where do you want to be buried?" Wrigley Field. "Daughters are Sox fans. Never see you there." Oh.

I'm feeling my age today. It's not all three ways with Orion slave girls and tribbles down your pants, this is hard work. Love it though.

Opened CBuckley's forthcoming book to quoteworthy line. Character says, "Who needs evidence when you've got the Internet?"

I'm getting a lotta questions asking what results of yesterday's primaries mean: time will tell. Etc.

My favorite Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities. But Oliver Twist is a perfect novel--and Martin Chuzzlewhitt much overlooked.

Charles Dickens would have been 200 today--and still coming up with vivid, quirky characters, compelling stories, & great names!

@HESherman Ah, we've seen Smash (preview perk). And love it! How did they know to make a series just for our family?

With no debate, game, or primary tonight, we are reduced to reading. 8yr old has written story: Spooky Ghost. Paging Mr. Spielberg!

Tonight: no Super Bowl, no candidate debate, no primary. Our family looks at each other and asks, "Remind me: who are we?"
