Apparently today is National Read a Book Day! 🎉 What are you reading? 📚 I’m nearly finished with Kudos (audiobook) and a chapter or so into Corrigan.

one of my all-time favorite disgruntled reviews of THE ODYSSEY long precedes the movie & comes from my partner. His take: “Odysseus is a shit sailor. There was very little ocean to cross to get home”

Last night at Cornelly (Cap Hill) we had an heirloom tomato and stone fruit salad topped with chili crisp, and omg - what an amazing combination! 😋 Never again will my nectarines be naked. 🍑

A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT FROG.” A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says. The frog is sweating.

Normally I crop photos to zoom in on the cat, but I like this one the way it is because I keep expecting a second kitty to pop up in the window. Photo from my collection no date/info.

Congrats to all the winners and finalists! 🎉 I saw so many fabulous stories drafted in the 2026 March Micro Marathon - I have no doubt we'll see them out in the world soon (which reminds me ... maybe I should submit mine somewhere … anybody want a story? 🙃).

I'm thrilled that Ghost Parachute has selected "Freeze" for inclusion in an upcoming anthology! I was just thinking about this story, and wishing it didn't feel so timely still.

Sometimes I post art even though I'm not satisfied with it—people still enjoy it. Reminder that anyone can do art... drew 2 stick figures exchanging New Year's greetings? Congratulations, you're an artist & you didn't need a machine to spit that out for you. Be not afraid... do human art in 2026💜

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. Harder for me: no Austen.

Reading will make you more interesting. Last week I met up with some old friends and we were discussing Cornwall. I told them, “According to legend, the devil avoids Cornwall for fear he will be baked into a pie” and the expression on their faces was priceless.

Somehow I find myself reading two novels about twins at the same time (one hard copy, one audio; both boy-girl; all teens). Is it a sign? Perhaps a test to see how long I can keep them straight without confusion? 🧐

I love Bernadette Mayer's list of writing experiments & try them sometimes. Most recently, I created a story where I "systematically deranged the language," filling it with gerunds and passive verbs. I love the result, but I don't know that an editor would. www.writing.upenn.edu/library/Maye...

Art is not frivolous or escapist. If you are making or consuming (or promoting) art, you don’t need to explain or apologize. There’s a reason why fascists go after artists.
