Recovering journalist and paleoanthropology geek who feeds many animals. Please, no DMs. I'm old, creaky and married. Also, the Oxford comma is overrated.

Timothy Bottoms wrote a sweet little book about fishing in Santa Barbara called “The Pier.” My book club read it and will be meeting him tonight. Can’t wait.

Exquisite album that sent rock on a new trajectory. For me, “Eleanor Rigby” was the song that really made me realize *anything* was possible.

I'm married to someone who has more than 100 squirrel tchotchkes, S&P shakers, plates, pillows and more. I have yet to count our squirrel ornaments, but they are legion and in a secure location in our garage.

You had me till the Oxford comma. Take this one out and it means exactly the same thing. No chance of misunderstanding. For every "eats, shoots, and leaves" there are about a million like this. The OC-or-die fan club is a cult.
