A while back, Tink and I had a meeting to pitch a television show on the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles.
It wasn’t the first time I had been there. At least three times, before I knew Tink, I passed through the Fox guarded gates. Once, I had lunch at the commissary with producers who were interested in optioning a book I had written.
