He also has the power you – and every other writer – wish you had.<br /><br />Hockey is your fear and insecurities as a writer. Not to worry, every writer has them. Interesting how you chose something you know little about. Of course you’d be insecure. Classic.<br /><br />Notice Julia Roberts is mentioned but she’s not actually in the dream. She’s the golden ring. Elusive and mysterious. She represents success – what you’re hoping to achieve with the project. But given that she’s likely out of her element directing a hockey pilot, it’ll be a huge leap and success is likely to be as elusive and mysterious as Julia.<br />That’s just the reality of the industry, I suspect.<br /><br />…Or, maybe it’s just a great idea for one of your blog entries. :-)<br />Dr. Dreammakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-46031726486575253822016-10-25T08:57:43.403-07:002016-10-25T08:57:43.403-07:00Hey Ken,

You are the only writer who can get me to read about them. Perhaps the reason is that one never knows what else will pop up (a reference to cannibal song "Timothy"?) in a given post. <br /><br />You're a masterful writer and an interesting thinker. As someone who has always loved television, I'm grateful that you have produced a body of work we can enjoy.

Because if the North Siders win, their fans will become as obnoxious as Red Sox fans were after 2004, acting as if they invented the game. In contrast, in 2005 when the White Sox ended an even longer title drought and curse (and what happened in 1919 was a <i>genuine</i> curse, not a silly, media-invented one like "No, No, Nanette" or billy goats), their fans remained level-headed. Plus, ifvwe're going to have someone from the '04 Bosox win again, I'd rather in be Terry Francona than Theo Epstein.
