Last Friday was #USC. Yesterday was #UCLA. Without even my hard close, nephew likes USC better, of course. ✌️It’s fun being a #guncle.

We're having a great time hosting 1 of Dudeman's nephews for a week while they visit USC and UCLA. Today was USC Family Day, so tonight we went to the game (we won). You can tell that he drank the Kool-Aid because he's already wearing Cardinal and Gold. It's fun being a #guncle.

I really like this one. Success doesn't mean that we don't have problems any more. It simply means that the nature of our problems has changed.

Happy birthday, Mom. 🎊🎉 Today you would have been 90 and likely still riding your horse 🐎. Cedric and I got married, just like I told you we would. We have a niece that we spoil rotten, like you would have had you had the chance. I miss you madly and I still keep pushing.

We love to see Alvin Ailey when they’re in Los Angeles and have for at least the last decade. Tonight’s performance at the Dorothy Chandler was especially wonderful, with Glorya Kaufman in the house. One of Dudeman’s high school friends still dances with the company.

Out and about tonight at a friend’s premier of his play, “My White Husband.” We loved his perspective and what he had to say about it. My partner had some thoughts as well. 😂👍👍🏿
