Wow. What a year. One of the nicest people in the world. Just as sweet as you would expect her to be. The warmer of greetings as a child seeing her on the set as well as every time in my decades as an adult. Love you Betty. Give my dad a kiss.

We unveiled my father’s headstone today in Kansas City. It was a very cold day and as the Rabbi recited a psalm to start the small ceremony a cold wind blew and gave everyone a tremendous chill. Thanks for saying hi dad.

To say that I miss my father would be an understatement. I wake up every morning, for the last couple of weeks especially, and think his being gone is a horrible dream that I had. Thinking of you a ton dad. I wish it was a dream.

First day of school in 9th grade. I am nervous as hell because It is my first day of high school and it's all new. I walk into my Social Studies Class and am greeted by the teacher who just happens to be Peter Tork of The Monkees.

He was always running. For miles he would run. Waving at cars as they honked. He ran uphill, he ran downhill. Sometimes with a dog, sometimes without. This was peace for him. In his element. Captured perfectly in 1978 by Mark Sennet.

One of my father’s favorite actors. He and Sydney Poitier worked together on They Call Me Mr. Tibbs. He always said that he was impressed by his power. Especially when he wasn’t speaking. That inner power. He thought that Sydney embodied strength.

Very sad about Matthew Perry. His work to help fellow addicts should be highlighted and celebrated. I find it incredible that he had to suffer fools like Peter Hitchens in interviews like this one. May his memory forever be a blessing.

One of my favorite pictures of my father. This is around the time of Rich Man Poor Man. He would train for an hour or so in the heat on a heavy bag. This look was one that I saw often. It was a very intimidating gaze. You were ok. Unless he got up. That was the cue to run.

What an icon! I absolutely loved The Bob Newhart Show. They filmed on the stage right next to MTM and I would see Bob from time to time walking on the lot by the stage. May his memory forever be a blessing.
Bob Newhart, the genteel but sharply satirical comic whose TV series “The Bob Newhart Show” and “Newhart” were huge hits throughout the 1970s and ’80s, died Thursday in Los Angeles. He was 94.

Found these old Nielsen Reports in a box of my dad’s. I had forgotten how it took until the reruns started during the summer of 78 for Lou Grant to really take off. It’s an amazing thing to see where all those old shows were in the ratings.

A guy I watched goofing around on TV religiously as a child was teaching me about the world. He was a tough teacher. We had a thing in his class where he would always think that I wasn't paying attention.

He would always make a point of stopping what he was teaching and say to me, “What did I just say?” I would always answer him correctly and it always seemed to frustrate him. He was very smart and loved to read from Mao’s Little Red Book.

From 2013.
Will and I were talking about a boy in his class. He smiled and said "He is my best friend in the whole world." I said. "Really, you like him." Then he said, "oh yes, he is in my heart." I said "he's in your heart?" And he said "All of my friends are in my heart."'

I think perhaps Will Smith and the public are misinterpreting Denzel Washington’s advice to him about the Devil. The devil was not Chris Rock. The devil was Will Smith’s anger and willfulness to commit a violent act.

When will we treat mental health issues for what they are? They are health issues and they deserve every bit of respect, attention and empathy that any other health issue gets. To read some of the comments about Anne Heche has been truly sickening.
