I co-wrote a Beach Boys special that Lorne Michaels produced for NBC in 1976. I got to know Brian Wilson but found myself mostly studying him. A tortured genius whose songs are a cornerstone in American pop culture. Hopefully he’s finally at peace.

My Bar Mitzvah. Exactly 62 years ago. I am now older than both of my grandparents were that day. Amen!

Gilda, I still can’t believe you died on my birthday. As if I’d forget. Miss you.

Happy Pub Day to my friend and sometimes co-author Dave Barry whose newest book, "Class Clown,” is a hilarious memoir that he only charged me half price for. I'm telling you all, that you'll love this book so much that you, too, will want to staple it to your forehead.

Didn’t write a word thanks to both the Yankees and Mets opening days being on TV. Do I feel guilty? Uh, no. Not in the least. #mlbopeningday

Garry, I can’t believe it’s been nine years since you left us and nearly 40 years since the show we created together first aired. You’d be amazed to see how it’s still remembered. Miss you, my friend. #GarryShandling

Touching piece…

A bench from 'Forrest Gump' survived the Palisades fire

The Palisades fire destroyed a moviemaker's home, but not a bench seen in the classic 'Forrest Gump.' Forrest recounts his difficult life from a bench, so it's fitting this one survived.
