Hey! Here, have a pinned thread of my writer stuff.

First, my debut poetry collection came out in June. I'm proud of it. Readers have said it's good, so that's cool. You can get it all the usual places—my favorite is asking an indie bookstore to order it for you via Ingram.

My book when it was at Schuler Books in West Bloomfield and it was front facing on a shelf! How cool is that? The cover is green with yellow text and highlights. The publisher, Match Factory Editions, has a house cover style, so all their books have the same clamshell pattern (like a vintage matchbook!) but in different colors. You can see a bit of the books on either side. It was next to Best American Poetry and a biography of Nina Simone, who is probably one of the coolest human beings ever.

I fear we're more in "To Build a Fire" territory.

Neat trick making me not care if my team wins because I'm so tired I just want it to be over, please god.

Quick, someone get Kerry Carpenter 8 costumes to make him look like other batters.

I have no faith in this Tigers offense to score a run at this point

On the upside, this was almost an hour ago, so I'm fully vindicated as a dad making the right call. But, um, I have to get up for their games too...

and now my children hate me because I had to send them to bed, stupid endless extra innings. Sorry, guys.

Put a player in a frog suit.

Your skeet shatter my fingers after I fouled it unnoticed.

Unfortunately, an error and a missed foul bunt call, apparently, but so it goes...

Will break this extra innings tie?

Me? I blame "rest of team" for my heart palpitations.

I LIKE BASEBALL AGAIN.

And Carpenter, who hit three homers off lefties in regular season, takes Speier deep. 2-1 Tigers.

But this is confusing because there are no Ms in Skubal or Dingler or Torkelson or Baez or Carpenter or Greene or Torres or—oh! You must be a Parker Meadows or Zach McKinstry fan! Sounds great and go Tigers!
