Happy Book Birthday to Lisa Gardner! I started marking parts I loved in my Advance Reading Copy in prep for this Thursday's author event at RJ Julia (details in link). You can see it's going to be quite a conversation! rjjulia.com/.../2026.../...
Last night's home cookery. Sliced ribeye bruschetta with arugula cream sauce and local greens.
Tomorrow, Lisa Gardner kicks off the tour for her latest triumph, You'll Be Sorry. I loved the book and am honored to join her in conversation Thursday at RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison, CT. Come join us. You won't be sorry! rjjulia.com/event/2026-0...

Strange but True: Mama Cass DOTD in the London flat of Harry Nilsson on the top floor of this London building. Keith Moon died in the same room four years later. As heard from my barber when I got my haircut in the Geo. F. Trumper Mayfair shop on the ground floor years back.

My office until the Charles Salzberg event at The Mysterious Bookshop event at 6pm.
Sure, it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. Come join the horseplay with my pal Charles Salzberg tomorrow evening at 6 in Tribeca.
When I met Peter Lassally, exec producer of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, I'd never written a monologue or worked in late night. He took a chance and hired me on a 13 week contract. I stayed 4 years and owe much to this man who I called The Gentleman because he was. Rest in peace, sir.
HBD Adam Savage, Mythbuster. Here’s that time in Craig Ferguson’s Late Late Show green room when we swapped glasses to see if anyone could tell who was who. His only experiment that failed.
Charles Salzberg must be a masochist. He asked me to be his conversation partner (again). This time a week from today at The Mysterious Bookshop in NYC to discuss his new novel, The Beginning of Everything. See you there! Details in the link.

Things to do indoors on a hot day: Finish that watercolor sketch from Porto, Portugal. The Before and the After.
Tonight I made paella for dear friends in Rhinebeck. They’re just mad about saffron.
I think of heart. Gene Wilder and I were writing a project as he recovered from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. He said, "We have to knock off early. Mel and Anne are coming over." Weeks later, "Got to wrap soon. Mel and Anne are coming over." Mel kept showing up to show the love. Happy 100th, you big softie!
