The Best Worst Holiday Gifts of the 2021 Giving Season
‘Tis the gift-giving season, which means there’s no better time to buy useless trinkets for people who may or may not want them. If you’re looking for odd products of dubious usefulness, look no further than this article (which is itself dubiously useful). And here we go! The Backseat Driver GPS Traveling for the holidays? […]

The World Without William Shakespeare
Lately, I’ve been reading Shakespeare to my daughter. Based on the number of times she farts during said readings, Macbeth is her favorite. (She’s one month old, by the way.) Anyhoo, all this Shakespeare got me thinking…what would the world look like without him? And I don’t mean the conspiracy theory Shakespeare-didn’t-write-his-own-plays thing. I’m wondering how different […]

Some Things I Learned on My Tour Through Westeros
I recently re-read the entirety of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. …Do you still say “re-read” if you listened on audiobook? We’ll pretend the answer’s yes. Shoutout to late great narrator Roy Dotrice. Anyhoo, now that I’m back from my tour, I thought I’d share some words of wisdom for those planning […]

A Post-Apocalyptic Halloween Greeting
First thing: Happy Halloween! Second thing: When did the world end? I’m being facetious, of course. The world is still intact, and will remain that way until the Philadelphia Eagles win another Super Bowl, at which point all existence will implode upon itself. But in my new short story, The Post-Apocalyptic Independent Author, the world is […]

Back at the Albany Book Festival
It was 10:25 in the morning, my socks were quacking against my Adidas Slides with each step, I was lost between the austere granite slabs of UAlbany’s campus, and yet I recall feeling content. The Albany Book Festival was back. To be clear, last year’s event wasn’t cancelled—it was virtual. However, I was Zoomed out, […]

A Season Preview from an Oft-Disappointed New York Giants Fan
Usually this blog is about writing, reading, and sometimes cats. Today, it’s about disappointment. Oh, and also football. I’m a lifelong fan of the New York Giants. And by “lifelong,” I of course mean since my early high school days, when I discovered Madden for the Nintendo GameCube. It’s been over a decade and we’ve been […]

The Real Reason Frodo Didn’t Ride an Eagle into Mordor
There’s a common question posed by readers of The Lord of the Rings trilogy: Is Tom Bombadil Robotripping? Also: Why didn’t the eagles help Frodo? No, I’m not talking about the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles (thank god). Nor am I talking about the band (though now that you mention it, I’m down for a little “Hotel […]

Why I Find the Charmin Bears Revolting
The Charmin Bears are an abomination. … I might be coming in a little hot there. But really, the Charmin Bears are gross. You know them. They’re that pack of multicolored ursine cartoons that have regular family meetings about the quality, texture, and thickness of their toilet paper. They also tend to dance crazily, rub their […]
