Your Nebraskatude is apparent.

We're having all the grown kids up to the house on Sunday to watch that fictional documentary of our times called Citizen Kane.

It's fake news all the way down, right? That's what I hear.

Okay, we're done with them. This algorithmic bullshit is why we can't have nice things, like a country.

This seems like an earned pan.

Steve, I am very excited about this. I live in a family of neurodiverse artists, musicians, and art teachers.

Your Grace, the time change has me not feeling myself, and so I misread that as, "let them fry."

It's spring break, and I'm getting tax documents together and grading. This afternoon, it's all writing. Being responsible is so cool, right?

I want to be the third base coach for anyone doing this important work.

Here are the baguettes.

Six tiny delicious golden baguettes.

Made 6 sourdough demibaguettes today, for grab and go deliciousness.

Woodface. It was a perfect fit.

Listening to Crowded House and baking baguettes, for a 90s vibe.

Thinking of you to the north.

Everyone, I have terrible news. I gave up candy for Lent...and I feel better.

As "an old" I'm thinking about an MMR booster.

Living in Utah, and we had an outbreak notification come from my kid's school a couple weeks ago. I feel like I'm just shaking my head all the time now.

A friend of mine used the phrase "mullet vibes" the other day, and I can't stop thinking about those words.

Truly, this is one of the handful of sessions that makes me wish I was at AWP.

Absolutely.

That bookstore was my basic bookstore growing up. I had no idea how lucky I was.

The Dow is down to 47,000 dollars. Hmmm, I wonder why that has happened.

Last night my wife and I took one kid to dinner, and over the next 20 minutes, the other ones found out and showed up at the restaurant. We loved the pop up family dinner.

This feels like a Robert Frost poem.

Got up at 4am to look at the lunar eclipse through the kitchen window. Went back to sleep, woke up to find we're still here.

Last night, I played rhythm guitar and sang three-part harmony for a portion of my music major son's junior recital preview, in front of three of music professors. Not gonna lie, that was a pretty white-knuckle way to test out being "interdisciplinary."

I think the trick to doing meetings correctly is to ask, "What would a house cat do under these circumstances?" Then do that.

AWP peeps, have fun storming the castle!

I love knowing that. We performed and I read in the Spring City Art Gallery, which is so lovely. My wife's aunt and uncle live there. He owns Horseshoe Mountain Pottery.
