New project? Blinking cursor at the top of a blank page? Friends, I'm right there with you. Grab a cup of something hot, put on the music that inspires you most, and jump down the rabbit hole, into the story you've been waiting to tell. Let's jump together. 1 ... 2 ... 3 ...

CBS (and TNT) still hold the option to it, so I think it has not been released for sale because they may revisit it in the future. That said, I know there must be dubs of it out there because I get messages from folks who've seen it recently, probably dug up somewhere on the web. :)

Hi! And thanks so much for the note. 'Scent of the Missing' was produced by CBS Studios and TNT as a pilot for a series. Though the pilot was made (and, I think, aired at some point as a longer-version TV movie), it never went to series. I don't think it's available for purchase anywhere.

CAST IRON PAN: we demand to be cleaned by hand, you will dry me properly or we will rust all over you, and don’t even think about using that metal spatula because…

ME: of course, of course, nothing’s too good for my special little pan

MY BODY: can we have some water?

ME: shutup, coffee is water

Nailed it.

Oh, hello Jake, you beautiful boy! I am so glad you enjoyed
'The Possibility Dogs,' and I know angel Jake Piper, who left us in Sept 2023, would have loved to meet you. 17 is a magnificent age! You wear it well, buddy! (Hi to you, too, Bill!)

In a way, bsky puts all of us in the memoirist's challenge--how much of ourselves to we really want to throw out to strangers? It's less a closed circle of friends and more like an open mic at a party where you only know a few people. But I like the considered posts of those I follow! (Like you.)

I'm still on Facebook (contractually, I have to be for a period of time), but I post much less there, and TBH here, as well, though my intention is to be more here than anywhere. The energy is just too fraught to want to be online as much, and I've traded the headspace for other things. -more-

I think it might be the other way around.

Welcome to Titan and Rocky, our new fosters, two pups of a litter of four shut up in a closet and left to die, abandoned. One brother is with another foster; a sister remains in ICU. They are frail but gaining ground, eating 8 small meals a day. Little loves. #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky

Who needs an internal editor when you have *this* cat passing judgement over your shoulder?

No words are right in this, but my thoughts are with you.

Collapsible pet bowls branded with Comedy Central logo

A bon of poop bags for pets

Comedy Central and The Daily Show donated boxes and boxes of collapsible food and water bowls and poop bags to Best Friends, and while it might seem laughable (and totally on brand), for displaced familes with pets in hotels or temporary shelters, these are essential. #lawildfiresupport

Not sure which one to do first.

Perhaps this playful, adorable kitten, rescued before the fires and newly adopted, is a little whiskered good news for a Monday. #catsofbluesky #rescuesaveslives #lawildfires

Same! Same! I happened to see your post this morning. 💐

Cup of chai

It has been a day in LA. After a 10-hour stint, crawled into a charming Indian restaurant where they know how to make a proper chai and could have wept at the perfect taste of it. Grateful for the kindness. #lafires

I *just* rewatched this 'Sense and Sensibility' (and a very good TV version) last week. Love it and especially love Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon.
