CONTRIBUTORS TIM LONG Why did you want to be a comedy writer? Outside of sports, for which I have no aptitude, it felt like the only job that was both lucrative and fun. Why is “The Simpsons” considered the ultimate writing job? Because cartoons can’t complain about the writing — much. It’s very much a writing-driven show, a fact that even our wonderful cast acknowledges. What are some of the big challenges in keeping a series alive for so long? As long as the writers keep having personal problems, the show will have a very deep well of material to draw on. “The Simpsons” can be quite dark. Is it a challenge to write such a show in a sunny environment like L.A.? Nothing more depressing than 200 straight days of sunshine — just ask Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. THE WRITE STUFF From right: California convert Tim Long; his coworkers,“The Simpsons.” COURTESY OF THE SIMPSONS/FOX For Tim Long, a writer on “The Simpsons,” entrance into Hollywood came casually. “Mutual friends got me an interview with Mike Scully, who was running the show at the time,” he recalls. “I told Mike about a time when I was a kid and we got snowed into the school overnight. He thought that would make a good ‘Simpsons’ episode, and he ended up hiring me.” Long has been nominated for eight Emmy Awards and has become an advocate for L.A.

We’re wimpy Californians. Forty degrees in our foggy hometown can feel like Siberia. But when we touch down, the desert air is sunny and inviting. We hop in a cab and head northwest through Tucson. As we climb into the foothills, Cleo, our 6-year-old daughter, and Judah, our 5-yearold son, point to the prickly pear and towering saguaro cactuses that dot this scrubby frontier. Soon, we pass the ﬁrst sign for Dove Mountain, a Ritz-Carlton resort with a main hotel, a casita village, ﬁve restaurants and lounges, a spa, tennis courts, and a golf course. The complex is designed to blend organically into 850 acres of Sonoran Desert — and it does. After we check in, Gustavo, our golf-cart driver, takes us up the hill to the casita village. Passing one of three outdoor swimming pools, he points out a 235-foot water slide built into a rocky slope. Cleo squeals with delight. 乘务小姐有些畏惧，她说我们选了一年之中最冷的一个周末前来游览图森。我们是畏寒的加利福尼亚人。家乡雾蒙蒙的四十度高温中也会让我们觉得身处在寒冷的西伯利亚。但在我们落地之后，沙漠的空气中充满了阳光和诱人的味道。我们跳上了一辆出租车，穿越图森向西北进发。在我们攀爬山麓的时候，我六岁的女儿 Cleo 和五岁的儿子 Judah 惊奇地指着遍布这个低地边境地区的仙人球和仙人掌。很快我们便经过了鸽子山的第一个标记–丽丝卡尔顿度假村，这里有一间主酒店、一座度假屋村、五间餐厅和休息室、一处水疗中心、网球场和一座高尔夫球场。这座综合性设施在设计时便希望与占地 850 英亩的索诺兰沙漠有机融合，而事实上它也做到了这一点。在我们登记入住之后，我们的高尔夫球车司机 Gustavo 带我们攀上了小商丘中的屋村。在经过三座户外游泳池之一时，他为我们指出建在岩质边坡内、 235 英尺的水滑道。长 Cleo 高兴地尖叫起来。当我们走进小屋时， Tony 和我注意到的第一件事是：托杜利达山区如梦幻般 My tennis game was missing: Three solid forehands would be followed by one that landed six feet beyond the baseline. An ace on a ﬁrst serve would alternate with ones buried in the net. My footwork left me either waving at balls too far away or fending off the ones that were too close. I needed a tuneup. I set out for the renowned Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami, where the sound of tennis balls is as steady as the surf. After an on-court career in which he won 35 Davis Cup matches for South Africa and a U.S. Open doubles championship, Drysdale gained greater fame as a television commentator while building a tennis management company that spans the world. The Ritz-Carlton facility, Drysdale’s ﬁrst, with 10 green clay hydrocourts and one hard court, serves as his “head ofﬁce.” Square stucco pillars, plentiful plantings, and loose netting behind the backstops make one think the site was constructed 74 W W W.
