He also says “nuts” and “shit.”
Early morning conversation
Him: What do they mean, "your plans for Que Sera Sera"?
Me: I think that's their way of asking when I'm going to take my blog out back and shoot it since I'm not Momversating or something.
Him: Do not ever say that word in bed again.
Me: What word? "Blog"?
Him: Momversating.

I watched Elf over the weekend for the first time in years and it was sort of weird to see Zoey Deschanel with blonde hair. Did you know that her sister is the person in Bones named Bones and not the guy who played Angel? I’ve never watched that show, but I always assumed Angel was Bones. What is Zoey Deschanel’s sister’s name? I feel like it’s something weird. Bijou? Chynna?...
My Childhood in Ireland
I never climbed the hill or strolled to the end of the pier to see what the walkers in rain might be finding out there.
Nor did the book fall open where Maeve had secretly signed it. In fact, it never fell open. Not that I minded: the world
streamed away wherever the great ships were going. Far away there were ways beyond knowing.
I walked back to the house. My sister’s new child was...

I have email. I’m not signing up for another website.
The point is the offer of anonymity, you giant man-baby.
P.S. I got your book in the mail this morning and it’s in my bag for the train ride home. Am happy to have it. Thank you!
Awesome! And thank you!
So OK why would I ask anyone a question that I wouldn’t ask to their face? Is this just one of those...
Not kidding guys
I am a pussy because I can’t look at my friend Laura (Dr. Sullivan-Beckers, I mean)’s profile on her fancy science work website due to the spiders. (She’s the one on the left.) Apparently Laura is a doctor of spiders, and gives spiders tongue kisses all day. I don’t know; I can’t really find out more due to all the spiders.
Eh, why not. →

The Drunken Teenager - A Cocktail in Three Acts
1. Attend a Holiday Party with spiked sherbert punch and a lot of 19 year olds who are trying to figure out how to hijack the discussion on Tree Ornaments and make 45 and 50 year old men and women play Flip Cup. Look around. This is both your past and future.
2. Go the kitchen and eat some salami with hot mustard. Stop when you...

The theatuh! (Post script)
Apologies: this reviewer got caught up in the spirit of drama and forgot to mention the bold new direction the play took at the end, rejecting the traditional conclusion of the pigs trapping and killing the wolf, and replacing it with a kinder, gentler one where the wolves grow tired of trying to blow down the brick house, feel remorse for the pain and suffering they’ve caused the pigs, and...
The theatuh!
This afternoon’s performance of The Three Little Pigs by the Stockwell Nursery Players was a surprise and delight. Although the fourth wall was broken moments into the first act by a Two Year painted like a tiger who spotted her mother entering the room, the casting of the Bigger Boys as wolves was inspired and brilliant, especially Raffi, who ingeniously pulled up his shirt to bare his...
I looked through these pictures while listening to this song on repeat while still under the covers, before my tea, and now I feel very calm and happy about my place in the universe. Thanks for that nice little December morning, internet.

Not an actual new Kevin; that would be weird.
Have you guys ordered your new Kevin Fanning yet? I just did, and I am in a country other than the country of my birth, with a recent head injury to boot. I’m not just telling you to buy this because Kevin is my friend, which he is, but mostly because Kevin is one of my very favorite writers. So probably 15% friend, 85% writer. Does that math work out? Like I said, head injury.
