A guy once told me how he never wanted to sober up. I wondered what the hell he was talking about; was he nuts? His demeanor didn’t resemble someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol. As a matter of fact, in today’s parlance, I’d categorize him as pretty much together. Of course it’s what…
Questions propel Often in abstract formFrom child hood on and on, endless Wonder is what I do almost every day.Wonder in every way “A remarkable person exists as a wonder to those he or she may perceive with great wonderment.”Hk One day not too long ago, in another century, I found myself atop a hill…
Talk, talk, and talk. The newspapers and the TV talking heads are all at it again. The despot jerk that was the leader of one of the most depressed countries the world has ever known has dropped dead, they say from an apparent heart attack. I doubt if anyone could ever treat his fellow citizens…
We had our office staff, teachers and engineers Christmas, Hannukah, and all purpose seasonal holiday party this Sunday last, December 11, at Firenze Osteria; Lisa Long’s establishment on Lankershim Blvd. In what Lisa calls Toluca Lake.

What a difference a few years make. I suppose when cultures change, the people who live within them, simultaneously, and automatically modify as well. As a melting pot country, no other place on earth follows this traditionally the way we do. I grew up in a household where we all worked. Our family followed a…
Hi, Harvey!Great seeing you again!-Ben I started my voice acting career when I was around six years old, so by the time I was ten, I’d been to pretty much every big casting studio for all sorts of different roles. They say, “Time flies when you’re having fun,” and to me, voice over is nothing…

Translation, “This blogs for me baby”. THE SCENE: DAY, EARLY IN A TYPICAL AUDITION WEEK, AT THE WORLD FAMOUS STUDIOS (perhaps…
Things I’ve never doneSome I’m proud I never did,While wistfully thinking of those I’ve never tried. There was one time most grimWhen a divine force snatched meAs I teetered on a limbI’ve never helped an old man cross a street Splendid Ladies weren’t required to be oldJust neat, maybe sweetLiking when they responded to:“If I…
