Yes, I forgot to blog yesterday. And so, in the interest of maintaining my daily streak (but not really), I give you this very late March 18th blog in advance of my March 19th blog post later today...provided I remember. Meanwhile, on the home front... Preparing me for the experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuQ1xmPwtqM And the experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TvzLHgn4RY…
More Stargate? Yes/No
Well, isn't this interesting... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1504503839839469579 Only Amazon knows for sure, but I'd advise letting them know you're still out there, Stargate fans. Click on the link. Give it a retweet. Tell your friends to retweet as well. Things will surely be moving forward. Which "things" specifically? That, I don't know. But I am cautiously…

March 13, 2022: Suji Sunday!
Yo, Top Gun! The two greatest purchases we've ever made were 1) the soda stream and 2) this adjusted wheelchair that supports both Suji's front and rear legs, allowing her to amble around, get in some exercise and, in the process, hopefully, rebuild those weakened muscles. She remains wobbly on her feet, incapable of standing…
March 11, 2022: The weekend is upon us!
Alas, no. We didn't get a new pug. Although you'd be excused for assuming this if you follow me on instagram and happened to see this picture pop up on my IG story without comment. The little gal, Bubby, belongs to one of our neighbors. I snapped a couple of photos of Akemi - and,…
March 10, 2022: This and That!
Just got off a great call with a genre-savvy exec who likes the type of sci-fi I love to write - high concept, character-driven action-adventure with a sense of humor. Although he's familiar with my work from the Stargate days - and instead of making him read a script - I directed him to episodes…
March 8, 2022: Oodles from the Stargate vault!
Closing a deal on another sci-fi pilot this week. Finishing up the third of three comic book pitches I'll be sending out top of next week. Tomorrow, it's a Powder Mage strategy session. Thursday, it's a zoom chat with a genre-savvy studio exec. Friday, it's a business lunch to discuss a possible new collaboration…
Toronto’s Top 10 Burgers!
In no particular order... The Burger's Priest My favorite: The Vatican City - Double Cheeseburger smashed between two grilled cheese buns. Rudy My favorite: The Rude Due - Double Cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato & Rudy sauce. Matty's Pattys Burger Club My favorite: Double Cheeseburger with spicy ketchup sauce. Burger Drops My favorite: The Original - Griddled sweet…
My Top 10 Favorite Youtube Finance and Investment Channels!
I used to know next to nothing about the stock market. The very idea of taking the time to study its unfathomable vagaries would set me on edge. I put my faith in a financial advisor to - well, to be honest - not necessarily make me money but simply ensure I didn't lose the…
March 3, 2022: A Miscellaneous Medley!
A very cool Portia Lin/Two fan edit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_CHw1gt8Ow&feature=youtu.be The good old days when you could ship children by mail instead of having to deal with costly and complicated air travel... Cool 3D art... Transparent toilets? Yes/No A slew from the Stargate vault...
March 1, 2022: Whoa. Almost forgot. Again.
This is the second day in about a week I've almost forgotten to blog. I mean, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I did - but it would be the end of my daily blogging streak that started way back in November of 2007. So in the interest of not breaking with…
February 27, 2022: Suji Sunday!
Messy eater! Akemi has started feeding Suji a special mussel soup with turmeric. Now, her chin is permanently yellow. Getting ready to hit the great outdoors. Suji testing out her new wheelchair with both front and rear leg support. In addition to her leg exercises, she gets an outside walk in the morning and a…
February 26, 2022: Stargate, cheese, and whisky lemonade!
Today, I joined David Reed for the 120th episode of his Dial the Gate series. We talked Stargate: Atlantis season 5 - bringing Bob Picardo on board, Jason losing the dreadlocks, plans for season 6, the Atlantis movie that never was, and much, much more. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM-nHmONNss Yesterday, Akemi and I visited St.…
February 25, 2022: Patience is required. Also, maybe, a second source of income!
I am not a patient individual, so it's somewhat ironic that I've chosen this line of work where the lion's share of your time is spent waiting for shit to happen. Waiting to hear back from your agent. Waiting to hear back from your lawyer. Waiting to hear back from the production company. Waiting to…
