I am an airhead

When I was nineteen, I had a car accident at an intersection. The back of my car got hit. It wasn’t a big accident – I wasn’t going very fast and neither was the other guy. Still, it was either a slow night or the ambulance guys wanted to take extra care when they saw […]

My book will be in your hands sooner than expected

I was sitting at my computer yesterday, answering interview questions (which I’m pretty sure is the only thing I do with my “free” time these days), when I took a break to check email. There it was, a message from Amazon: We have received new release date information related to the order you placed on […]

The sun exists

…and today it visited New Jersey. I emerged from my cave and dragged my reluctant 12-year-old son to a nearby park where the snowpack was melting a la Everest, causing the paths to be crisscrossed by rivers. My son happily splashed in every one of them. I scolded, to no avail. But I was so […]

The things I love

Everything I love today: I love my electricity. I love that my wind chimes are singing in the crisp air outside my door, giving this glorious winter morning a soundtrack. I love that when I look out my living room window the first thing I see is a bright, shiny red heart in the middle […]

Thundersnow Chronicles

Greetings from New Jersey, land of snowflake kisses and thundersnow dreams. What’s thundersnow, you may wonder? Glad you asked. Because it’s been going on for an hour here, long enough for me to have done my Googling. Yes, I really am that much of a shut-in. Most of us associate thunderstorms with those luscious summer […]

And the subject is…

I glanced at my email inbox and it struck me that it’s a perfect little snapshot of what my life is today. Here are the top six subject lines, part wish-fulfillment , part writing. Marketing managers everywhere seem to have decided that, because I can’t leave my house due to […]
