I keep telling my friend Chris that I'm not a poet. He keeps insisting I am.

Might be why I'm editing his new book.

Anyway. My birthday is next week. On Thanksgiving.

@vantablue OMG, the truuuuth here. Hard agree.

Worse, it makes those of us assembling actual educational programs look shady by association.

Went last night to Helium Indy and saw Christopher Titus perform. It was an amazing evening full of good food, baller drinks, and all the laughs. And this Pic? Absolute dream come true, me between Titus (left) and my husband (right).

#ScribesAndMakers Aug 14. What's the funniest needlework you've ever made or seen? Can you share a picture?

This one always makes me laugh.

A framed piece of embroidery. The wooden frame looks old and splintery. It begins with a badly-sewn alphabet from a to k, then says, Emma made this in 1877 and hated every minute of it.
