The neighborhood kids have told me I am the best house because I have full sized candy. I have had promises to not throw things at my house. I have won the hearts of the kids I guess.

What about Dune?

I got the full sized candy bars because I want to be the neighborhood favorite.

I’m am waiting to see if I get any this year!

This is AMAZING!

In honor of spooky season. Throwback to when I planned an event with R.L. Stine and he was very nice and gave the most sensible writing advice.

I lost my old man Willie Nelson last night. We met when he was 5 and had a great 12 years together. Best $50 I ever spent. A connoisseur of Doritos who needed at least 3 blankets and two pillows to feel his best. I love him a lot and he will be missed 💔.

My stress is through the roof right now so I made cultured butter and buttermilk.

I tried to learn Japanese in college. I did not do very well BUT met some wonderful people like Tracy who is publishing this lovely book all on her own. Take a look and support! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tra...
