This is the letter my dog sent out to his caregiver, Uncle Jungle JMC, before his recent stay at our house while we were in Key West. Dear Uncle Jay, Thank you for taking care of me this week. I am excited. Not pee on the floor excited, but excited nonetheless. One thing you should … Continue Reading →

MUSIC MONDAYS: MUSIC TO FLY BY
So the three of you may remember that I spent last week in Key West. Pity me. Not. This required a certain amount of plane travel. Which I do not like. Not just because of 9/11 but at some point I just began to find the experience excruciating. Used to take 4 glasses of white … Continue Reading →
MUSIC MONDAYS: In the Key of Sugarloaf
While you’re reading this I’m in Florida either sunning myself or recovering from a vicious sunburn I got the first day down here. I’m never too sure what’s going to happen with me and my epidermis in the tropics. So here are some offerings for you while I’m away, all courtesy of the wonderful folks … Continue Reading →
REJECTAMATED!!!
Dear Chang, Thank you very much for sharing this with me. The plot’s a little slow to build for my taste, but I hope you find a good home for it. Best wishes, Jennie Hmmm, you know, I think it’s almost time for me to haul out this old chestnut – Augusta – and give … Continue Reading →
MUSIC MONDAYS: My Grammy’s name’s are Laura and Lillian

Writerly Wednesdays: The Work As Mistress

MUSIC MONDAYS: Now I Got Dreaming
Yo, heads! Okay, so I survived my daughter’s 13th birthday sleepover. They played the same Skrillex songs over and over again and behaved perfectly for young ladies poised on the cusp of young womanhood: eating pizza, playing with a ouija board, watching movies and staying up until 5:22AM. Meanwhile I worked on a new story, … Continue Reading →

Letters of Note
As I get older I’m appreciating Mencken even more. Is it because I’m older or wiser? Letters of Note. Tweet
YMO on a Friday Night
Oh my god I love this video: Where do I start? The clothes? the WIGS?! The total lax attitude like they’re three guys practicing and reliving the old days? The coughing and auguring at the end? The other videos in the series are awesome, especially because I don’t speak a word of Japanese. Tweet
