Post-production folks: Karen is finishing up her latest project for a Food Network show and is looking for her next gig. She has heavy experience in reality/docu-series. Also has done some game show and late-night stuff. If y'all hear of any leads on editing stuff, reach out to me/her. Thanks!

Very sad to see CPB and PBS struggle and potentially come to an end. PBS has been a friend to many documentary filmmakers like myself and has supported non-fiction storytelling/filmmaking for many years. My first documentary, "The Factory," aired numerous times on KET, Kentucky's PBS affiliate.

An odd/big ask: do any of my entertainment industry friends have a contact for Tom Selleck? My offspring has watched the original Magnum for the few years and is a huge fan. Was wondering if anyone had a lead on how to write a fan letter. :)

This weekend Jackson played what I guess was his last 13u baseball game. They got runners-up in a tournament and the team did so good. He had a couple of nice hits and RBIs and looked good on first base. I am very biased - but I love seeing my big blonde out there.

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.
We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

Sometimes I take a picture of him just because I can. He'll be gone, out on his own, sooner than I want to believe. He's usually a good sport about it, gives me a smile. Also, this picture was taken after baseball practice tonight. He's stinky - but still beautiful.

Will soon have a workable draft of a comedy TV pilot about a travel baseball team. Any of my friends know of anyone looking for such a thing? Hit me up. :)

Screenwriting friends, who knows a lot about Coverly? I have a short on there that was suddenly awarded a couple of badges. The script has been on there for a year or so. Kinda forgot about it. I'm not sure what that means, etc. I don't understand who is reading it. Who can help me out?

Occasionally, I wake up in the morning, lay in bed for a few minutes, and think about the day. Then it hits me: my word, I am the father of a 13-year-old son! How'd that happen? I didn't see that coming.

Took my boy to the park and we shot some hoops. Gave him a little lesson, and showed him a few things. When we were done, we sat on a bench and talked about basketball, baseball and life a little bit. I'm trying to do a better job of just sitting and listening to him, hearing what's in his heart.

“I’ve never been involved in politics before, but this is getting really scary. The things that frighten me are the way this insane president talks about Canada as a 51st state, taking Panama by force, and buying Greenland. How does this person qualify as being sane?“ - Town hall in Spokane, WA
