I think it helps that I've been getting normal sleep and not walking 8 miles each day.
Thankfully, the post-AWP cold isn't too bad this year.
Up to teach at 8:30 is a heck of a way to reenter life after 4 days of AWP. (Living the [very, very tired] dream.)
The stairwells (which I had to take later because the same elevator wouldn't open on my floor when I wanted to head out) was something out of a horror film, full of lights that only clicked on if you got close enough to the bottom of each landing.
Survived AWP. Only got stuck in one elevator.
Dang, I thought I'd run into you at some point!
Last night's @stanchion.bsky.social reading was so fun. Now it's time to actually start this AWP. If you see my awkward self, say hi!
Reading at this @stanchion.bsky.social event tonight. Come and hear my tale about a movie slasher struggling with his own mortality! #awp26
Other than that, you can find me if you look for the awkward guy avoiding eye contact!

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

Lotta jigsaws being finished in CT, too.
Got up early, showered, dressed and headed to campus with lots of extra time because of the falling snow. Forgot to bring a change of shoes. Been wearing snow boots for about 8 hours. My feet are so warm.
I would watch this reboot.
Gromit is completely covered in snow, with only the very tops of his ears exposed.

Jane has finished prepping for tomorrow's storm.
I feel like this is also an example of how box office results make no difference in a movie's legacy. This movie made over $350 million worldwide, and yet is completely forgotten.
Pink hearts, along with the text: Your work is just write for us!
Made this silly Valentine's Day post for the writing center that I run:
A young man with dark hair and wearing a beige jacket is talking on a black. The text on the screen reads, "Password is 'Love You for 10,000 Years.'"

I have a piece with ghostlighting and the horse we rode in on in it in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social. Thanks so much @jhhwriter.bsky.social for including this one in Issue 40. gooseberry-pie.com/on-a-ghostli...
Bumper sticker that reads Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake.
Happy friday the 13th. Avoid summer camps today.
Gromit update:
This morning, I thought to myself, "You know, I'm pretty good at running in icy conditions," only to then trip on the sidewalk seam (no ice at all!) and spill across someone's driveway.
Super Bowl BY MARY RUEFLE Who won? I said. The game's tomorrow, he said. And I became the snail I always was, crossing the field in my helmet. But I'd given it my all, while the plane arced on its way to a landing, when I overheard the woman behind us say I was gathering wildflowers to make a wreath to lay on my mother's grave when my son fell off a mountain in Italy and I felt such joy over the unknown outcome of her words I was not ashamed, for I can feign interest in the world, just as she in that great green meadow must have.
My favorite Super Bowl: this poem from Mary Ruefle π
Abandoning reporters while they're in war zones. Cutting book criticism. Losing sports. Firing the reporter tasked with covering Amazon. The list goes on and on.
What a terrible day for journalism.

We've hit the first goal milestone and I just want to deeply thank everyone who has donated or shared! I am hoping to keep this going to truly help my parents rebuild, but this is so incredibly kind!
