I’ve been doing a lot of nothing during the month of February and it’s been liberating. Doing nothing, just hanging around, watching Netflix or just wasting time is not wasting time. There’s a first time for everything and for the last few weeks I’ve really enjoyed doing nothing; for me it’s been surprisingly worthwhile. It’sContinue reading “Just sittin’”

In Awe of Authors
Medical doctors, PhDs, and authors alike are people whom I’m in awe. Anyone who can consciously slave away for thousands of hours over multiple years to create a book of any type: memoir, history, fiction, dissertation or serious treatise is remarkable. Novelist Philip Roth considered it a very good day of writing if he producedContinue reading “In Awe of Authors”

They give me confidence I’m making prudent decisions that will work out. No decision is clear cut so I play the percentages with what is known. That’s how IContinue reading “The envelope please”

Spike Lee called
Spike Lee called. He was looking for Indigo. He saw her in “She’s Gotta Have It”, a Netflix television series and knew she was perfect for a short film of his, “Broken Bird” that he wanted to produce. It was about a biracial girl, 12 years of age, struggling with her culture and identity whileContinue reading “Spike Lee called”
