TYOLD Day 121: My Milkshake
Now that I have finished the Vegas stuff (mostly - still have some things to do for the website), I was finally able to officially start on the movie today. I had already written character summary, the outline, and the extended treatment (the story of the film in...
TYOLD Day 120: Leaving Las Vegas
Not the first time I have finished a Las Vegas guide book, but I'm still counting it as my Differently for the day. The Frommer's Easy Guide to Las Vegas 2015 edition is in the hands of my editors and will be in a book store... or downloadable to your e-reader......
TYOLD Day 119: Holy Crap, I’m Old
Today I finally broke down and made plans to go to my 30 year high school reunion this August. Bought the plane tickets, booked the rental car, reserved the hotel, and then started drinking because 30 years... really? Here's the deal... some of you were around for my...
TYOLD Day 118: In My Estimation
I went to a couple of body shops I had never been to in order to get estimates to repair the damage to my car after last week's minor accident. It's about what I expected - about $600. You can sneeze on a car and rack up a $600 repair bill. The woman that hit me...
TYOLD Day 117: Vegas Differentlies Part 3
Today I said FU to my paralyzing fear of heights AGAIN and rode the new SlotZilla zip line in Las Vegas. Here's what it looks like from down below... Here's what it looks like from up above (HOLY CRAP!) And here's what it looks like from the other...
TYOLD Day 116: Vegas Differentlies Part 2
Today I said FU to my paralyzing fear of heights and rode the High Roller, the world's tallest observation wheel, in Vegas. Here's the view from the top (look close and you'll see the Bellagio Fountains on the right. I totally didn't do my ab work this morning. I...
TYOLD Day 115: Vegas Differentlies Part 1
Today, I ate this: Okay, well, I ate some of it. The "It" in question is a bacon mac and cheese burger, one of the signature items at the new Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen restaurant. I was both horrified and totally happy. In the morning, before I ate this, I made it...
TYOLD Day 114: Inevitable
I guess when you drive 30 miles every day round trip in bumper to bumper traffic for more than two years, it is inevitable that those bumpers are going to meet at some point. Couple of little scratches - hard to even see unless you know where to look. The very young...
TYOLD Day 113: I Sign Something
That thing I read yesterday? It was a contract with an entertainment company hiring me to write a TV movie based on an idea of mine. I can't tell you what it's about - that's part of the contract - but I can say that it's a romantic comedy that centers around a high...
TYOLD Day 112: I Read Something
I read something today. I can't tell you what it is yet but it is definitely different and kinda cool. As soon as I sign the thing that I read and other people sign it also then I will tell you what it is but I don't want to jinx it yet. Stay tuned. 32 sit ups, 85...

The Year of Living With Cancer
In 2012, I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. To help myself cope with it, I wrote about it. A lot. And yes, the picture of Angela and Jordan will make sense at some point if you read enough.
The Year of Living Differently
After cancer, I decided to try to mix things up and do something different every single day for a year. Did I make it?
50 for 50 by 50
To celebrate, or perhaps to distract myself from, my impending 50th birthday in 2016, I embarked on a project to give $50 to 50 different charities by the time I turned 50.
