Thanks to everyone who weighed in with their tea thoughts. Although I'm not usually a hot drink type of guy, I do enjoy my fancy lattes during the day and my chamomile at night. Speaking of lattes, are you all partial to any version in particular? There was a spot near my place that used…
July 15, 2020: Developments on the development front! And your go-to tea!
It's been a productive couple of days. Yesterday, my partners on this time travel series got on a zoom call to discuss the mechanics of setting up a production here in Toronto, covering everything from regional tax credits to and financing structure to catering (of course!). The plan was to pitch the series starting next…

Naming suggestions for the Washington NFL team!
With the news that the Washington football team is changing its name, I thought that this would be an opportune time to weigh in with some suggestions. Suggestions that stand apart. Of course, you'll have your standards (Tigers, Bulldogs, Wildcats) and your regional go-to's (Senators, Presidents, Lobbyists and Swamp Things), but I'd like to recommend…
July 12, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Impressed! Unimpressed. Her Kentucky Derby look. Studying. Ready for the Cotillion.
July 11, 2020: Guard your belly buttons!
Success! We have a surprising number of potatoes! We had all but given up on our limp, sad-looking potato plant but, today, Akemi decided to do some digging around and unearthed these earthy gems. Yesterday, I fried up some peppers and zucchini blossoms from our garden and made a delicious sandwich with potato bread. I'm…
Peppers! My Top 10 Favorites!
This was actually trickier than I thought it would be. There are a lot of great peppers out there. Something for every occasion. But, after much deliberation, I narrowed the field down to the following Top 10! #10. Shishito Peppers Starting at the lower end of the Scoville Scale. You'll find these on the menu…
July 9, 2020: Zoom calls, spicy chicken sandwiches, and a bearish harumi!
Thanks to Coco, SLord, and TamDixon for joining me for my very first zoom fan chat. We talked lockdown, projects, Dark Matter, Utopia Falls, a lot of Stargate, and, of course, food. Suji even made a guest appearance. It was so much fun that I'm thinking of doing another one in August. Who's in? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1281324615843880963…
July 8, 2020: July?!! Did we skip June this year?
I am amazed by the variety of chocolate bars that made of your respective Top 10 lists, especially considering I'd never even heard of most. Looks like I'm overdue for a trip to my local convenience store. I will, of course, report back once I've completed my research. Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of…
Top 10 Chocolate Bars!
In honor of National Chocolate Day, I'm counting down my Top 10 Favorite Chocolate Bars. No high-end bars here. No Amedei Chuao or Pralus Papouasie. Just your standard chocolate bars you'll find in most convenience stores (depending, of course, on where you live in the world). #10. Snickers Love the chocolate and peanut combo, but…
July 6, 2020: A lot on my reading plate!
Akemi is apparently fully recovered from her back injury - only three days later! It took me 6 months+ to recuperate from my pulled back! And that included weeks of physiotherapy. She just...slept it off! This is an outrage! Okay, looks like I have my work cut out for me this week - and next.…
July 5, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Let's get this party started. In her Hawaiian cruise wear. Tongue action. Chillin' with her pal Tinkleberry. Defiance. Suji's "Are you serious???" look.
July 4, 2020: My back is very bendy!
"My back is very bendy!" --- Akemi this morning during her Kpop dance exercise, letting me know her back was feeling much better today. She's moving around much better now and as a result, doesn't look so silly when she's out walking Suji... Note Suji's look of utter bewilderment. Akemi is (as you can see)…
July 3, 2020: Lift with your back; take pressure off your knees!
There's a moment late in the Dark Matter pilot, as the boys are loading weapons crates onto the shuttle, that THREE casually warns ONE to: "Lift with your back. Takes pressure off the knees." I remember rewatching that episode and being hit with a momentary twinge of panic when THREE offered that advice because, in…
July 2, 2020: The Thursday Update!
As I impatiently await word on TimEscape and that other heavyweight sci-fi project, I've been keeping busy on other development fronts. I just delivered a rough pitch (and admittedly overly-detailed pilot breakdown) for the time travel series I'm working on with Doug and Kristin, signed a deal to script consult on a big foreign sci-fi…
