Midnight. The fridge light. The whisper of “just one bite.”
You raid your fridge; we raid the reef.
Everyone’s pretending it’s fine.

So it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day. But let’s not forget: Some of the sharpest swords, fiercest tempers, and cleverest strategies belonged to women.

All that fuss about machines to visit the past or peek into the future. But mermaids? Honey, we’ve been at it for centuries…

September 8th is a double holiday: Star Trek Day and World Ampersand Day. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Sure, Star Trek makes sense — but what’s an ampersand?”

#RIP George.

I got to interview George decades ago when he wrote a book about (fittingly) beer. He’d had a bad day and was late, and then our chat ran long because we were laughing so much.

His work made me laugh. Our chat made me keep doing improv even though I felt like I sucked.

Children’s shoes at the water’s edge. The sound of delighted laughter, splashing water, the wind through the palm trees. A frisbee soars by and a woman in a beach chair glances up from her book to catch it and send it back. #SundayAfternoon #hudsonbeach

We thought this baby was dead. Apparently we were wrong. I love it when plants surprise us.

Allen, aka Chompy McChomperson, is getting bigger almost daily. He gets mouthy when overstimulated. But he also gives the best kisses. #adoptdontshop #fosterpuppy #maxxandmepetrescue

Wee Allen is starting his second week with us. #fosterpuppy

Wee Allen is doing really well. Mostly doing his business outside. Mostly sleeping through the night. Super sweet but still learning that puppy teeth and human skin are “unmixy” things. #maxxandmepetrescue #fosterpuppy
