I wrote this poem years ago (about 2004) for friends who were having a baby. It’s strange to read this the night before we become parents ourselves. Thoughts on Parenthood from Ones Who Aren’t Parents As if you’d take advice from us What do we know? The only young one in our house is a [...]

A Lying Liar of a Comment
Posted in reading, slightly strange, write on June 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Someone posted this comment on my review of Dave Cullen’s Columbine on www.my52books.com. I’m not sure the need for the insults, the double slurs (lying liar, and calling me an idiot twice!), and I’m interested in what this guy had a problem with both in my review and in the book itself. The irony is [...]

Six-Word Memoirs
Posted in teach, write on March 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I across across this clever writing exercise when I was in Portland last month during a Powell’s book reading. It’s called a Six-Word Memoir, writing your life story in six words. A collection of the online submissions was published called Not Quite What I Was Planning. Go to the Smith Magazine site to see the [...]
Mr. T, Madrid, and Me
Posted in my favorite posts, travels, write on October 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I began the morning watching an episode of The A-Team dubbed in Spanish. Either my Spanish is better than I thought or the storylines for this show are thread-bare, but I understood the show. The voice dubbing Mr. T sounded like a monster from Clash of the Titans. Perhaps the Spaniards need some help with [...]
Caught Shoplifting at the Wal-Mart
Posted in germany, my favorite posts, travels, write on August 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Of all the places to practice my sleight-of-hand movements, Wal-Mart would not be on the top of my list. I’ve resisted the temptation at the Apple Store, Toys-R-Us, and Old Navy. Don’t misunderstand me: I’m good enough to steal if I really wanted to. Card tricks and larceny are close cousins because they both involve [...]

I’m Tired of Lost
Posted in miscellaneous, write on October 4, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I am sick of Lost. I know that I am perhaps one of the few still-breathing television watchers who would make such a blasphemous claim on this much-heralded show. Even now, there are diehards who will quickly post complaints on www.matthewfoxisafox.com or www.iwishjohnlockewasmydad.com to elicit shame and scorn my way for writing such a sentiment. [...]
