I've been writing television comedy for a long, long time. Among the series I've had the opportunity and good fortune to write and/or produce are, Good Times, Maude, Chico and the Man, The Jeffersons, All In the Family, Dear John, Here and Now, and Los Beltran.

And recently, I had my first animation experience in once again working with Mr. Bill Cosby on his Nickelodeon series, "Fatherhood."

In the non-television world, my work includes a cover story for Cigar Aficionado magazine, the novelization of Mr. Cosby's "Fat Albert" screenplay for Harper-Collins, and contributing a good amount of ghost-written humor material for a book credited to a well-known political commentator. Because of a confidentiality agreement, I am unable to mention his name. But I think I am not forbidden from telling you that he has his own radio show and is an over-reactive, angry man with the sense of humor and fair play of Charles Manson. And in no way do I mean that to degrade Mr. Manson.

I've also started writing a bi-monthly humor column for the popular e-magazine at grandparents.com.  Hopefully, they've removed the candid shots of me in my "Borat" swimsuit.

I hope you enjoy Grandpa Rules and have some laughs along the way. I am currently working on another humor book that looks at older guys and how they... What was it again? I'll get back to you on that one.

Regards,
