Do you ever avoid a TV show because you can tell it’s obviously going to be good, and you’re afraid of the time-suck and of making a new commitment? Jerry Seinfeld’s web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was like that for me. As soon as I heard about it, I was like, “Oh, that’d […]

2012-13 Year-End Wrap-up, Part 1: Web/Work Stuff
(See also: Part 2, “Creative Stuff” and Part 3, “Animal Stuff”. All parts share this common intro…) When I think back on 2013, I see it mostly as a super-frustrating and unproductive slog, where I was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, […]
New Poems (?!)
I don’t write poems at the velocity I used to…or maybe I should say I don’t finish poems at the rate I used to, or talk about them as much as I used to. But I do spit one out here or there that seems worth sharing. Five in the last three years or so, […]

Feeding a carrot to Golondrina

As I mentioned recently, last week I helped rescue a mom dog and her 5 pups, who were living under the porch of an abandoned building in my town. Now we’re holding a fundraiser to get them all looked at by a vet, and get shots and microchips and spayed and neutered and the other stuff […]

Lake LA porch puppy rescue (VIDEO)
I’ve been putting water and food out for the mom of these puppies since I discovered they were living under the porch of an abandoned building near downtown Lake Los Angeles. The situation is starting to heat up, and I’m connecting with rescue groups to get hopefully the mom and her puppies fostered and then put […]
