Ireland, 2016?
Jaysis, don’t be an eejit. Get out there and ride, Sally, ride. ‘Ere’s a buke you might read in advance of the thing. Or ‘ow ‘bout this then for maps and stuff. Set it up. Do it. ...
Growing Roots and Other Worthy Orgs
This is mostly a note to self, I guess (what else is new?), but as I’ve begun to make the November benefit more public, I’ve had a couple of people approach me about other groups around town that are working with families with autism, and it’s making me wish I’d been more aware of...

We have a graphic and therefore there’s no turning back. I’m mildly terrified about getting this thing together, worried about the coordination of it and the reception and attendance. But we’ll figure it out, right? You support me? Sorry, I can’t quite hear you. I suppose if it doesn’t work out, we can...

I often try to get the kids to walk or jog with me when we’re going to school or it’s a nice morning out or there’s some kind of race or an event coming up I’d like to train for. They almost never want to do it, and I usually let it go after...

It’s been about a month since we opened GOOD WEATHER FOR BUNDT CAKES in my living room in south Austin. It was something I wanted to do, but it was an experiment and I knew there was a possibility it’d fall on its face. I feel the show was a success overall and that...

Upcoming stuff: This Saturday the 16th I get to tell a new story (currently called The Lessons of Little Rubber Things) at the Carousel Lounge as part of Nettie Reynolds’ event Toys of my Youth; I’m excited to meet everyone else involved, have a beer or two and listen to a couple of great-sounding...

Really happy that I get to tell another story at Testify this month. It’s one I’ve been trying to get down in one form or another for years and years, and I think I may have finally found a way to lasso it. It’s a sad, kind of awful tale about a party that takes...
