Matt and I recently talked about a major movie on my shame shelf: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly! I went into this movie with low expectations and was truly blown away!

I HAVE A PODCAST!

"A GOOD STORY WELL TOLD" is a show about the craft of storytelling where Matt Bird and I dig up a good story to see how the author sold it so well … and figure out what tools and tricks we can all use in our own writing.

My wife is a knitter. I just found the coolest stitch marker on her desk. A little rainbow with dew drops!

This winter, our house started of inviting a whole bunch of people over for Saturday soup and bread lunch. We have a firm “no need to RSVP” policy. If there’s extra soup, we just freeze it for next time. First week, two people came. Second week, thirty people. Third week, four. What will today hold?
