Most of what I write has no place in the public sphere, but I do enjoy writing and I do enjoy telling stories. I’ve always thought I have a knack for both, but beyond this blog and a few online videos, I’ve never really sought to publish any of the things I’ve written. That is [...]

The big day! I had all of my pitches today. Plus, some of the creative team from Pixar were there to talk to the Expo. They were amazing! I heard Andrew Stanton (director of “Finding Nemo”), Brad Bird and Mark Andrews (director and head of story, respectively, of “The Incredibles”). It was really inspiring. These [...]

My dreams of blogging on the road have been crushed by the corporate hotel giants! The hotel in Las Vegas and the hotel hosting the expo in Los Angeles want $10 PER DAY to access the Internet. I do need enough money to make it back home, so the “live” blogging will have to wait [...]

Traffic into Los Angeles was a nightmare! I got stuck on I15 between Vegas and L.A. for about two hours. They decided that the middle of the day was the best time to close down a lane to repave the highway! So there I sat, in the middle of the Mojave desert with 1/8th of [...]

Eagles on the highway Swirling whisps of clouds on mountaintops A control burn of a ski area A car overturned in the snow Sipping hot cocoa during a snowstorm in the desert Seeing the lights of Vegas from 100 miles away A communications antenna taller than the mountain it sat on “Writing” seven scenes of [...]
