July 20, 2020: Dream casts, strange movies, and amazing people with whom I have worked!
Today, I zoom pitched an adaptation of one of my very favorite Korean t.v. shows. As part of the pitch, I included a few visuals for each of the main characters, drawn from some of the amazing talent I have worked with in the past. IF I ever get the chance to make this show,…
July 19, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Suji is back to her spirited two-walk self again. I'm not sure what the issue was. Maybe she was injured. Or needed that second afternoon stroll to limber back up. But she is a rocket out there. Well, more of a later stage rocket anyway. Seriously? Mid-shake action. On the look-out for fallen strawberries. Okay.…
July 18, 2020: Got questions? Leave them in comments section!
Last night, I took part in the Exoplanets of Stargate panel. Tomorrow, it's the Sound Space panel: A significant part of storytelling is the soundtrack. Music can conjure up a place, a culture, and a time. In this session, writers and musicians discuss how sound can be used to invoke space and advance a story.…
July 17, 2020: The Exoplanets of Stargate panel! Gardening! World’s most dangerous cheese!
At 7:00 p.m. tonight, I'll be sitting on The Exoplanets of Stargate panel... Hosted by CosmoQuest. Should be fun. And highly informative. And I'm talking about me being informed since I'll be sharing the virtual stage with some science heavy hitters including our host, and former Stargate science advisor, Mika McKinnon. P.S. In the event…
July 16, 2020: Moving on to lattes!
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.

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…

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…
