Screenwriter of rambunctious eloquence. Sometimes comedy, sometimes comedic, sometimes just dramatic. Hard to believe I was a Nicholl Finalist! Love movies, beer, music, tacos, and floating in a Texas river. BlueSky since 2023. Occasionally sarcastic.

Offered for consideration for #TheGreyList:

QUEEN OF THE SKY

When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Chatbots and AI slop are going to ruin countless brains. Yours doesn't have to be one of them. Study history. Read poetry. Get acquainted with Bach, Shakespeare, George Eliot. In a time when people are rapidly getting dumber, we need communities devoted to the life of the mind.

I am, for whatever reason, reminded of the classic sign off from the late great “Mister V”, Sunday morning blues DJ on KPFT:

“Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow isn’t promised. You got to go out TODAY… and make someone happy.”

There is worse advice one might heed.
