I pitched Akemi some of the character elements of my Untitled Awesome Project today and she is now bemoaning the fact that she can't watch the show. Yet! She already has a favorite and some of the situations I describe had her laughing out loud. Even my go-to onset producer, Ivon, is excited about it…

October 30, 2018: Things I learned today!
Spent half the day undergoing my annual health assessment. As far as I can tell (pending the results of the blood test), I'm as healthy and hopelessly out of shape as ever! Other things I have learned: I read better when I wear my reading glasses. My sense of balance is atrocious, making me a…
October 29, 2018: I’m like Tom Hanks in that movie where he’s adrift with no internet! What was it? Big?
I received the terrible news this morning while I was still in bed. "The internet is down,"said Akemi. "Did you try rebooting?"I asked. When she told me she had, I didn't think much of it. There have been countless times where I have had to act as IT guy for her various computer issues. Granted,…
October 28, 2018: Suji Sunday!
Hmmmm. This could be a problem. Whenever I'm working, Suji has to be sitting up on the couch as well, pressed up against me. At night, she's on the bed, also pressed up against me when she sleeps. Apparently, when I leave the house or am gone for a while, she paces anxiously and, when…
October 27, 2018:
Apologies for the late blog entry but I was out tonight with the lovely and talented Roger Cross who is in Toronto shooting a t.v. series, between his various other t.v. show appearances. Despite his busy schedule, he still found the time to take Akemi and I out for dinner. A class act. Hopefully, before…

October 23, 2018: Things are moving along…
Well, I must admit that your varied bucket lists made for some fine reading. When the time comes, schedule permitting, I may tag a long on your various globe-trotting/culinary/ill-advised adventures! This morning we delivered the first draft of the UF episode 1 script as well as the outlines for episodes 2-5. Hopefully we get the…
October 22, 2018: My Bucket List
A difficult day for reasons I'll not elaborate on in this blog entry. Suffice it to say, however, that days like these make you stop and think about not only what you've done with your life, but what remains to be done. MY BUCKET LIST Buy a place in Tokyo and spend more time visiting…
October 21, 2018: Suji Sunday!
So, what has our cantankerous senior been up to? Relaxing in her jimmy jams. Making popcorn. Quality time with mom. Out and about. Hitting the road with sister Lulu. Some final thoughts from Lulu... < p style="text-align: center;">

October 19, 2018: The Plans! The Plans!
I'm pleased to report that you needn't worry about me and, specifically, my right shin. According to the doctor, it's a bone bruise that should clear up in 3-4 weeks. Unless, of course, it's a stress fracture. In which case I'll be in a walking boot until it clears up - in 3-4 weeks. But…
October 18, 2018: Aches, Pains and Fifth Act Frustrations!
I was stumbling back from the bathroom in pitch darkness when my shin connected with the bed frame with such force that I thought I actually moved the damn thing. But no. Akemi was still fast asleep. Not a surprise. She is, after all, a notoriously sound sleeper, snoozing through everything from doggy accidents to…
