Tied Together At The Phone

September 22, 2023

phone, pay phone, pay phones, Humboldt Park, Chicago

I recently moved back to the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, where my Grampa grew up, where my grandparents had their first date, where my dad and uncles were born and grew up, and where I also lived for a number of years before moving to Los Angeles and getting into the TV world.

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt To Put Own Kids Up For Adoption

July 9, 2019

I was looking through some old emails and found this gem I wrote in 2009 when I was trying to get a job at The Onion. Pretty good if I do say so myself! "Afraid that a passion for adopting and rearing lots of children is fueling the psychosis of people like Octomom Nadya Suleman, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have decided to put their six children up for adoption. 'You try to do a good thing … [Read more...] about Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt To Put Own Kids Up For Adoption
