My Own Private
Shock Corridor
- - -
Bob Schneider is a recovering screenwriter and a compulsive footnoter.1 He has a row house in Brooklyn near a park and a subway but rarely leaves the basement. He likes movies, hockey, tacos, and flying business class. He has one wife, two kids, and a bank account in the mid-three figures.
1Though he has nothing to add here, he believes form demands a footnote.
