- I don't know much, but I do know a few things that we can be grateful for this Thanksgiving: Carrie Prejean (Miss California) resigned as governor of Alaska, LaToya Jackson did not do a memorial album for brother Michael, and Amy Winehouse won the Cy Young Award.

- I am leery of reviews on places like Amazon.com because old enemies, hackers, and crackpots can post fraudulent reviews, but now Amazon, if not everybody, seems to be taking measures to make sure reviewers review under their own names. So this recent review of my 1996 satirical novel, SUPERFAG, is a welcome entry, especially since I don't know the reviewer at all and owe him nothing, nor he me. ...

- When people wonder why I am an atheist, I say I can believe in a God who invented the Grand Canyon and the blow job but not one who would think up dementia, arthritis, and shit. Especially shit. What kind of Almighty is that?!

- I have been asked to write a Christmas show for a theater in Maine, and already we have some one-acts lined up, all moods from the sentimental to the cynical.At the same time a director in India is seriously considering directing my play The Blasphemer, which I wrote twenty years ago, based on the Salman Rushdie fatwa.

- I am torn between despising the fascist, no-nothing Right in America and the you-can't say-that-even-though-it's-true Left. Both are infuriating, because only their perspectives are permitted. One has to be a glutton for punishment to take them on. I am getting too old to do it.

- An agent in Germany has told me he wants to translate and help get productions of my play GODOT ARRIVES in Germany. And for once I did not have to push to get this reward.

- I get furious when I hear the talk about "bad teachers" being the major problem with American education. The major problem is bad students: belligerent, lazy, overly entitled, lacking discipline, incompetemt, self-satisfied, and sometimes downright dangerous.

- What is it with the Rush Limbaughs, Jerry Falwells, etc. in this world?! They are the first to cast a stone, but their own sin (GLUTTONY) is written on their faces for all to see. Can't wait for Limbaugh to be carved into Mount RUSHmore, life size!

- I have, with some difficulty, managed to upload on YouTube three scenes and three songs from the 1984 San Francisco production by the Angels of Light of CINDERELLA II, a show I conceived and wrote the book and lyrics for.
