At the end of another tour of the offices out here. Four seminars in three days. I may be saying goodbye to Dubai this afternoon. I haven’t been in Dubai in nearly a year and our office is but a shell of what it was. Had dinner at Waxy O’Connor’s last night (great food!) and [...]
Just read where some new dirtbag – who was a former contestant on some heinous reality show – killed his girlfriend in LA. One description of him is as follows: “R. was involved in ministry as a mime and did “some evangelistic types of entertainment,” Schoonmaker said. He did not know when or where R. [...]
I went home for four days and went to Ikea three times. Does that sound logical? Flew 6,000 miles – through a number of times zones – to make the half hour/forty minute each way drive down the Jersey Turnpike three times. And since it is right next to the airport, you can almost look [...]
The flight home was on my dime, so we were flying economy. I got to Kuwait Airport about 3 hours early to be sure to get a parking spot (which were plentiful it turns out). However, it took me at least an hour to get through the lines at security. The airport was packed with [...]

Let’s stroll through the Q tonight, shall we? First off- Kuwait stinks. I don’t mean metaphorically. Literally. Stinks. A large portion of Kuwait proper is on the Persian Gulf (including shops, restaurants and where I work). And when the tide is out, the smell is akin to swamp gas mixed with burning oil products… only [...]
I’m going out to dinner tonight. But where? Chilis? Ruby Tuesday’s? Applebees? who knows? The choices are… pathetic. And the thing is – I’m in the mood for crap food. It’s a TGI Friday’s kind of night. But – without beer? I don’t think I can do it. Some food only tastes good when the [...]
There was another actor in my family. A real actor – a professional. His name was Wayne Tippit and he was my mother’s cousin’s husband (right?). Wayne passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 77. Wayne was always a sort of touchstone for me – being an aspiring actor myself. Here [...]
