If I fail to come across as writing or speaking to you one on one face to face, heart to heart, what's the point of touching the keyboard?

And maybe when I do I’ll stop thinking about Matthew Perry. But for some reason I don’t think I ever well. A long time ago, I lay awake for hours, terrified that they wou...

Reading Robert DiNiro's words about Donald Trump...I need to share. One of the greatest actors ever says I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor...
