MEMOIRISH is a bunch of essay-like narratives of
things that happened to me. I don’t follow a publishing
schedule. I write when I do. It means I have complete
creative control over my output. It also means I
basically agonize over words so I can throw them into

and friends of friends taking a detour on their way to
redditing bliss at work.
Then one day, this happened.
“The Plight of the Central-Air Challenged” made it

963 bloggers; 404,641 new posts; 414,724 comments; and
98,932,991 words” posted that day.
I had thousands of visitors, a ton of new followers and
more than 60 comments. It was amazing.
The next day, my blog was a black hole all over again.

and it was posted on Facebook.
On Looking And Being A Certain Age
I'm older than I look. You can

Sorry, Mom
After I got laid off from the paper, my mom
