  1. @camoulton You forgot to mention it was a THREE BOOK DEAL! That deserves caps. Congrats!!!!
  2. 10 new albums (no, 11) that I enjoyed in 2009. Kind of sort of an end of year top ten list, but not really. http://tinyurl.com/ydvfz95
  3. My daughter got a new stuffed animal. It's a rooster. She thinks it's a chicken. She named it Turkey. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
  4. I've started blogging at PopMatters.com on TV. Read my post on Larry David's finale do over reunion show mashup: http://tinyurl.com/y9sjv4x
  5. My kids want to break a world record. They've settled on most socks worn on one foot. World record: 74. House best so far: 13. Stay tuned.
  6. Realized my kids can't tie their shoes. I blame velcro. Also realized I don't know how to teach them. I blame, um, er, velcro?
  7. My story, Red, listed as Notable in Best American Nonrequired Reading 2009 anthology (editor, Dave Eggers). First appeared in Barrelhouse.
  8. Fish update. Six purchased in last two weeks. Three have moved on. Surviving fish seem freaked out. We're rethinking buying a lizard.
  9. Just saw Julie and Julia. Everyone says it is about cooking. Turns out it is really a movie about writing. Who knew.
  10. When your four-year-old says, "Please may you get out of here," is that rude or polite?
  11. Left the office in search of pizza for lunch. Returned with a sesame bagel with cream cheese, cucumber and sprouts. How did that happen?
  12. Kids headed to camp in Wisconsin tomorrow. We aren't planning to cook for two weeks. Give me your DC restaurant recommendations, please.
  13. Just got home from bowling. At the White House. Yeah, that White House. Based on the pics on the walls, Richard Nixon rocked the lanes.
  14. The mice leave this weekend. Do we need a new pet? Maybe a Chubby Toad? Yes, that's what it's called. Gillian skeptical about amphibians.
  15. Facebook suggests I become friends with my uncle's brother, my former boss and my wife's ex-boyfriend. Well played, Facebook. Well played.
  16. I find myself referring to people as "folks" with disturbing frequency these days. Not sure why. The word is just stuck in my head.
  17. Hanging in NC. Weather sucks. But still got some beach time this a.m. and minigolf and ice cream this p.m. Maybe tomorrow some sun please.
  18. Took kids to museum. Four-year-old grabbed tush of a priceless Matisse sculpture. Saw our life savings (and then some) flash before my eyes.
  19. FB wants me to become a "fan" of "being alive." I don't want to. Seems redundant to me. Apparently, 687,327 "fans" disagree with me.
  20. Played Boggle with 7-year-old. He found the word "sex"; I didn't. To him it meant "gender," but it was still disconcerting on many levels.
