Ever wonder who that guy in my default photo is?

No not me, the other guy.

I have been fortunate to be working this year for a man who not only created 'Gilligan's Island' and 'The Brady Bunch' but is one of the most wise, funny, sharp, and good hearted guys I've ever known. All this is remarkable enough but today he's 91 years old..............and is in as good form as ever. I'd like to be him at 91.................heck I'd like to be him at 41!

Sherwood Schwartz, quite simply, rules. The good spirit that you see in his work is simply an extension of his own very good spirit.

 Happy Birthday Boss.

You have the best job.

I was watching The Brady Bunch on TV Land last night. Aunt Jenny came to visit. Jan was scared she would grow up unattractive like Aunt Jenny but then discovered what a cool, quirky, funny, adventurous and warm soul she was and her looks didn't matter. Aunt Jenny taught them about Jewish holidays, ate Japanese food with them, and then flew off to Paris to be with her French lover. She even had a llama. Jenny refused to get plastic surgery and accepted herself the way she was. Aunt Jenny wouldn't find much work in today's Hollywood.

Happy Birthday Sherwood and thanks for putting diversity and virtue out into the airwaves.

Now that you've changed your default photo to you and Honky, that first sentence is hilarious.
