It Takes a Village to Raze a Mother: Musings on the Artist/Parent/Academic Network and Pregnancy Updates at 27 Weeks
I’ve been wanting to update again for a while, but time is very cramped. I don’t even have the time now! But I will begin this, and save a draft, and keep it going over time until it’s done enough to share. It’s honestly been a month since I began writing this, but whatever it […]
Print Nugget 2: Al A. Poopy’s Revenge!
We announced to the world on Christmas Day, 2019, that we are expecting a second child in May 2020. Its due date is May 17th, to be exact, the day after our University’s Spring Commencement.

911 Diaries: More About my 16-Year-Old Brain Than You Ever Wanted to Know
I was writing in my sketchbook/journal the very moment I heard about the attacks on 9/11/2001. This isn’t unusual, since I was pretty much always writing in my sketchbook back in those days. As many of you know, my Uncle Cole worked in the Pentagon and was killed that day, but we didn’t know it […]
Why I’m Cutting Back on My Fatkins Diet
Egg Muffins with spinach, onions, garlic, and hog sausages the neighbors made. WARNING. AS USUAL, THIS POST CONTAINS WAY TOO MANY PHOTOGRAPHS. JUST KEEP SCROLLING. Easter weekend we visited Aunt Pe & Mike in the Florida Panhandle. We had a great time laying sod, sea kayaking in the waterways, playing with the neighbor’s dog, cooking […]
