So I went and did a thing. I’ve just released a collection of poetry, short stories, and other odd bits and have titled it Life Among Psychopaths: An unexpected potpourri. It’s available on Amazon or at https://t.co/5hZXxYN3Vo.

I will now take your questions.

@MikeReissWriter Sounds like we need a spin-off book from Springfield Confidential.

@hankgreen I’m still waiting for https://t.co/KteiPLBOsn to get within my affordability range. I’ve got a business idea.

The section on cooking eggs is one of the best things I’ve read in a long time. Two tea-stained thumbs up. #whatimreading #books #jonnysun @redjacketbooks

@scalzi My strategy for my third consecutive win is saying to my wife, “Let’s take both cars and I’ll meet you there.” 90% of my Xmas music exposure is through her Sirius radio channels.

And now we enter that gray zone between Xmas and Jan 2. Worst time of year for those who manage around ADHD. Or the best time. We’ll see. #ADHD

Will the turkey be done in time? Will stuffing come out right? We’re keto dinner rolls a bad idea? We’ll see! #xmasdinner

Starting to look like #Xmas

I can’t remember the last time I actually needed an E scale. Nostalgia took a hold of me and I needed a clear straight edge. #typography

Snowpants update. The boy has actually quite taken to them. He is running about the house because he likes the swish-swish sound they make when his now-thickened legs rub together.

[MerryBlacksmithPress @MerryBlacksmith]

Today, I have to put the boy in snowpants before sending him to school. Why? I lost the coin toss.

A hearty breakfast if linguica, eggs, some sharp cheddar, and coffee. (Unless you’re my doctor, in which case this is… um… kale. Yeah. Kale.) #breakfast #kale #westwarwick

I have it on good authority that this is the last surviving card catalog in the country. When once they roamed the plains free and strong, one last four-drawer sits lonely and desolate. #library #peacedalelibrary

Checks out. #Musketeers

Been a while since I’ve given this a spin. Time to.. um… spin. #music #whatimlisteningto #drfeelgood #wilko

“OK, kid. You’re six and it’s time you learned how to dine and dash. First, you need an open flame, and then…” #parenting #greenport #greenhillbbq

It’s 5am and someone in this neighborhood is blasting “Rocket Man”from their house. I mean… it’s not a bad song, but at 5am? Even I keep the Rancid down to a modest 6 at this time of day. #music #rocketman

So, yeah. I’m on Mastodon now—whatever that means. I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. Seemed like I should have a backup in case Twitter fully implodes and this is where most are flocking to. Uf. Feel free to connect anext watch me flail about. #Mastodon

I need more stickers for my laptop. Winter is coming and the poor thing needs another layer. #stickers
