How To Be a Boss

I've been pretty busy lately, working on a TV show Avi Rothman and I created for Starz. We're writing five episodes for them, with the hope they'll pick up the series. It's based on our original pilot, Partners. The experience in a writer's room has been amazing and we're working with a great team. The episodes are also coming out pretty damn funny.

Yet, no part of my job requires me to be well groomed. We sit around a table, work on the episodes together, and then do a lot of writing on our own. We snack incessantly. I've grown a bigger stomach than my wife who's 5 1/2 months pregnant. Good times.

But my 90-year-old neighbor, Abe cannot wrap his head around the idea that I never shave. One morning, I groggily got out of bed to walk the dog. I was exhausted, as I wrote until the early morning and hadn't gotten a lot of sleep. But, when Abe stopped me to let me know that I better quickly take a shave before I got to work, I had to get it on camera.
