Did you watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” last Tuesday night, and think it seemed a bit…shorter than usual? Well, it was. And my friend Leon puts this into word far better than I could have. Please pass on, share, and enjoy. TO: ABC FROM: Leon Lynn RE: Desecration of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” 12/8/09 Dear […]

If you’re at Lucca this week, in Italy…here’s my signing schedule. The “Area Performance” is live painting (where I’ll be coming up with something for the charity auction – more Boobies, perhaps?)
