Trust this finds you and yours in fine form. Thrilled to report that our little venture Duffy’s Dough has officially re-launched—with a big-hearted boost from our friends at Kroger! Our take-and-bake sourdough breads are now available in the Ohio market, and we’ll be expanding nationwide early next year. 100% of our profits go to support food scarcity charities across America—so the more bread we sell, the more we can give. If you’d care to check us out you can find us at duffysdough.com.

If late, I had the profound privilege of performing in Crazy Mama, a one-woman play written by the deeply talented Sharon Scott Williams and directed by her wonderful husband—and my longtime friend—Anson Williams. Come July, we’re off to Ireland to film a special for Irish television all about—what else?—all things Ireland! Looking ahead, August will bring the feature film release of LA Grit, a film noire thriller that Patrick and I were delighted to be part of. Stylishly directed by Ryan Curtis and starring the so very talented Max Martini, amongst many others.

Seeing the news unfold over these past few months has birthed a personal need to learn more about our nation’s Constitution. I had never spent any time with it and truth to tell was really only vaguely familiar with its contents. I’m no scholar, nor lawyer so with some trepidation I jumped in. To my astonishment it is relatively accessible, stress on relatively. It is a miraculous document, filled with inspirations, compassion and clear directives. As a learning tool have been making short clips for social media synopsizing the amendments. I’m sure any a lawyer worth their salt would be horrified at my 101 approach but it’s been fun to do. Long live the Constitution and bless the souls who rose to their better selves to write it.

Have had the chance to ride my bike on some of the fire trails out in LA… into areas that had burned. The enormity of what was ravaged is staggering… and the fact that the first responders were able somehow to keep it from taking more is astonishing. Now… mustard is in full and beautiful bloom., a powerful reminder that life regenerates.
