Deleted Scenes – Duck Dynasty
Several years ago Samara Von Rad and I put on a fundraiser for our lovely friend Christian Zyp. It was a series of 'deleted scenes' from well-known television shows that we wrote in a very satirical fashion. I just found this one in my draft pile. I was never used. I now set it free …

Saturn Cave, Cuba
I'v always been a fan of the natural world. From the simple harmony to the brash vastness, I consider it my place of worship. It is indifferent to me. I appreciate its honesty.

Well, it stopped swimming as I said this and turned towards …
