NOTE FROM LB
In the late ’90s I wrote a few episodes for a TV series called Walker, Texas Ranger. The star, Chuck Norris was very good friends with a friend of mine, and Chuck was a friendly, personable guy back in those days – plus I didn’t have much else to do – so I figured what the hell, why not dive into the money pit again. The following touches on an element of that experience that most television writers never encounter.

I met Steve McQueen back in the late 1960s. OK, I didn’t exactly meet him, but we interacted. I was stuck in an unmoving lane on the Hollywood Freeway, and with nothing else to do I glanced over at the car to my left and saw an equally unmoving Steve McQueen, tapping on his windshield.
NOTE FROM LB
Going all Biblical on you today, but not sure why. Maybe because a holiday that many people treat with a sort of religious reverence is coming this week. Maybe because I’m trying to escape these troubled times. Or because I’m looking for a way to face them.
