Videos! And an update on Bobby (and me.)

If you’re not into reading X-rays, let me explain it to you: see that big crack in the femur? Yeah, that shouldn’t be there. Two weeks ago my son Bobby (10 years old) was playing basketball. He fell backwards and everyone heard a loud… Continue Reading “Videos! And an update on Bobby (and me.)”

They’ll tell you it’s a dry heat here, as if that makes any actual difference. My allergies… Continue Reading “Out of the frying pan and into the fire…”

The Word of God

Hey, here’s a new film by Outside Da Box that I wrote the script for. What do you think?

The Creed

Here’s a script I wrote about the Apostle’s Creed. Corey at Likeable Art did all the hard work and I think it came out really well. Great job, Corey! What’s also cool is that it’s available in Spanish. I imagine that someday, after the… Continue Reading “The Creed”
