So here I am, doing great on the fiction part of our program, but with nothing to talk about. I mean, Ambrosia and Idris visited, bringing baby Ellie with them, and she’s getting SO BIG, and the sweater will look ADORABLE on her, and it was a lovely visit–but, like a dork, I got no… Read More

And today we established… That extra Del Taco brought inside and set on the stove counts as dinner if mom’s still napping when dad gets home from work. That my eldest daughter, Chicken, believes Geoffie is marginally cuter as her hair grows out in front of her face, but that A. This establishes her identity… Read More

Okay– So on Saturday morning, we were all getting ready for Squish’s soccer game. And she suddenly started yelling at the dog. “Gibbs! Gibbs! What the hell are you doing down there under mom’s feet! She’s on the toilet, Gibbs! You’re such a weirdo!” So while I’m still going, “You’re in my bathroom why?” she… Read More

It was bound to happen. See, Geoffie is a bad dog. I mean, I love her, but she barks at everything, doesn’t listen, and you have to call her like you’re summoning Beetlejuice. “Geoffie Geoffie Geoffie!”  You only say it once, she doesn’t appear.

So, I admit, this is a sort of odd Kermit Flail.  I think folks were busy– also, September is sort of an odd time to release a book. It’s like the January of ebook retailers– no “boys of summer” promotions, and the holiday promotions are two months away.  But that means it’s mystery season,… Read More

First of all, Kermit Flail will be on Tuesday– repeat KERMIT FLAIL WILL BE ON TUESDAY! Yeah, I decided to take Labor Day off– sue me! So, for those of you who didn’t see it on Twitter or FB, this is ZoomBoy in his sweater. (You may recognize this sweater as the thing the dog… Read More

Okay, so Guest Dog Gibbs likes to sleep on me while I knit. I knew that. But I kept waking up in the morning and finding the sweater I’m crocheting for ZoomBoy on the ground. “What in the fuck? Why? I don’t understand!” So, tonight, I got up to go get some water and the… Read More
