The greatest gift I’ve ever been given was by my friend Maggie (Michal), who asked Gilbert Gottfried to record a Cameo video after I’d gotten into a bad car accident (Armenian on Armenian crime). It was exactly what I needed, and I treasure it to this day. The day after she ordered the Cameo, my…

I haven’t posted in awhile, and I’m sure people must think I’m dead. I’ve, frankly, been away from my desk.
