On Being in a Closet of Sorts

I’m not even certain where to begin this entry, because I am not entirely sure where it starts.  During my MFA, I studied under Liz Strout (who you really should know) for a semester, and she told the small group I was in one thing that will stick with me until I’m dead.
That thing? “Just [...]

Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here.  I’m cool with that; I hope you are, too.  From here on, I’m going to use this blog as a sort of personal repository for, well, Internet stuff.  Because I like the Internet, regardless of whether it likes me.
Is it possible to have an [...]

So, Here’s the News

Saturday afternoon, Le Wif gave birth to a wonderful girl named Millie, heretofore to be known as Le Bebe.  As a result, this blog will go dark for a couple days–let’s say ’til Wednesday night or Thursday afternoon.  So until then, why not check out my novel or the first couple episodes of my podcast, [...]

I’m No Food Critic

Le Wif and I went to Taj India in Florence, KY a few nights ago.  It was good.  She had Saag Paneer, and I had Chicken Korma.  There were also these sauces (pictured), and I don’t know what they were.  If anyone might care to let me know, that’d be awesome.  The meal was especially [...]

Drinking and Winning

Last night, Le Wif and I hauled our tails across the river to our friend Jimi’s place, where we were fed salad and a wonderful pork-and-rice crockpot dish.  There were rolls and this peanut butter cake that we went apeshit over.  And by “we,” I mean “I.”  Seriously.  It was awesome.
Lately, I’ve been on this [...]
