  • The Daily Sam: Disneyworld

    November 20, 2009

    • I should have known it was going to be bad day when the traffic reporter on KQED radio said there was still a problem on the N line after telling us about an as-yet undiagnosed problem on the L line. San Francisco’s mass transit system (MUNI) of buses, light rail, trolleys, cable cars, carrier pigeons, sleds, and roller blades always has its problems, but it usually doesn’t make the traffic ...
  • How to Sell to the Tabloids!!!

    October 17, 2009

    • I was just reading where a movie producer has been sending faux stories about famous actors to the tabloids and they publish them! No one checks to see if any of the details are true! :) And, tongue in cheek I presume, the producer said something to the effect that in this economy, it's a way to make some money. Send fake stories to the tabloids. Hmm, so that's the way to write for money.Photo ...

  • They Came from Cyberspace: Five Twitter Tweets

    July 2, 2009

    • I was very much relieved recently when both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and actor Johnny Depp admitted to hearing something go "Twitter-Twitter Tweet-Tweet," like some Vulcan canary singing for its supper out in the depths of cyberspace, but didn't have the faintest idea what it might be. Their public admission, I felt, placed me in very good company indeed. ...
  • THE DAILY SAM: WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR WEDDING

    June 12, 2009

    • I am getting married today, so I guess it’s time I tried on my suit. Hold on a second—I’ll be right back.Okay, I tried it on and it looks pretty good. I’m relieved, because I bought the suit for this occasion. It took me fifteen minutes. I went to Macys, picked out two suits in ten minutes, tried 'em on, and chose one. I did have the pants altered, but I never checked the fit until a ...
  • I've Got Two Openings for Poets in France (and How to Secure Discounts)

    March 18, 2009

    • I've got six talented, funny, wise poets signed up for the poetry workshop in Auvillar, June 12-18th.  I know five of them, and they are talented and kind.   Working with them will be a great joy and will raise the bar on all of our work. I woke up this morning thinking about the creperie in town.  O my yes!  Not that I'm going for the food and wine.  Still, those market venders up on the ...
  • Donnie Brasco: Love Among the Mafia

    January 23, 2009

    • Some of the greatest performances by actors are made great by their electrifying relationship – on stage or on screen – with others. The idea of the ensemble is an honored one in the history of theater and film, and an ensemble can be made up of just two actors. In the case of the 1997 film Donnie Brasco, those two are Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. This Mike Newell-directed film is a very ...
