Elliott Erwitt: Automat, New York City, 1953
A cookie and pho make up for a good day!
Lost in Joss Whedon’s (dubious) legacy, is that he technically made David Boreanaz one of the biggest tv success stories of all time.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-1999)
Angel (1999-2004)
Bones (2005-2017)
Navy Seals (2017-2024)
Rockford Files (2026-forever??)
Whether or not you want to thank Joss for this, depends on what you think of David Boreanaz’ acting skills and screen presence, I guess.
I mean, he must have *something* that makes people stick around for his often mid tv shows.
CSI: Sunnydale.
Angel shows up with a cool theme from The Who.
But can he drive a car as well as James Garner did?

His Grief Made Him a Better Father
Dear Reader,
I did a podcast last week. A grown up one. The host had read the book and asked me real questions, the kind you can't deflect with a joke about laundry.
The book has been out long enough that my initial feeling of vomiting when talking about it has largely gone away. Almost like I've built up a tolerance for saying "dead mommy" without fainting.
The title of the episode is "His Grief Made Him a Better Father." I didn't pick it. I wouldn't have.
It's the kind of sentence that sounds clean. Grief in, better father out. A trade. Like I gave up something and got something back and now the books are balanced.
I know why he picked it. To soften the actual title: I'm Only a Good Daddy Because Your Mommy Died.
There was only one thing in the book he disagreed with. The idea that I'm not a good father.
My first instinct was to eviscerate him on his own podcast. I didn't. He was being kind. This was supposed to be a friendly conversation about the book, not a live demonstration of why the title is accurate.
So I softened. I didn't fully retreat. But I softened.
Baby steps for being a functioning human being.
Have you ever had a panic attack? What does your inner dialog say to you when it's happening?
Now tell me my title is full of shit.
If you want to hear me talk about the book, here is the episode.
Be nice in the comments...
Or not. Maybe more people will find it if you are mean to me. I want engagement, right?
I will be very sad though. Keep that in mind.
Besitos,
Michael
