TWO REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS
ONE
The last movie I saw was set in present day but the young protagonist had an answering machine. When is Hollywood going to give that up? Nobody younger than 50 has an answering machine and only seven people fifty or older have them—and four of those are broken and the dudes just won't throw them away. That's not a lot of answering machines! If they haven't stopped making them entirely, they will soon.
Sorry, screenwriters. You'll have to find another device to clue us in on important narrative details.

Later this month, the Uptown Collective's Led Black Book Club will feature my collection, Steal Me for Your Stories. Drop by APT 78 in Washington Heights at 1pm on Feb. 25. I'll read you a story.
This is probably as close as I will have to a book release party, so … let's party. More info is here, and it's so fancy you have to RSVP. Do you know what RSVP stands for? Yes, Retired Senior Volunteer Program. That's an important program. RSVP is also a track by The Bloodhound Gang from the 2000 album Hooray for Boobies.
HOORAY!
