Yes it may be childish but I scowl at people driving them. Many of whom I’m sure are perfectly fine and decent. They just need to jettison their Tesla and get a new ride as soon as feasible.

The temperature at noon on Monday will be 22 degrees which is the same temperature it was in 1961 when Kennedy was inaugurated. The ceremony was held outside.

Antidote to freezing rain and fog over the snowy fields was to make an insane quantity of chili this morning for New Years and to populate the freezer for down the line, 8-9 quarts, 17 ingredients, a black and white on right & classic on left. Should last for months but, if I’m honest, won’t.

Real ghost encounters of the writers of ghost stories in the new issue of Conjunctions, Revenants edited by me and joycecaroloates.bsky.social. Unique look behind some very spooky writers’ veils & my favorite special feature at conjunctions.com today. You must have your own ghost encounters too, no?

Calling the Revenants issue of @conjunctions.bsky.social a "Satan book" is as ringing an endorsement as we could ever hope for! To acquire a copy of Conjunctions:83, The Ghost Issue, co-edited by me and @joycecaroloates.bsky.social please get in touch & we'll be happy to send the accursed issue :)

Under a floating alphabet in class a few Mondays ago, my students posed with Joyce Carol Oates, after discussing her collection ZERO-SUM. Having published 4 of the stories in CONJUNCTIONS, I still got fresh insights from students and author alike. Half the point (more?) of teaching is learning.
