Day 4,028: Set

Day 4,028: Set

Not doing a question again tonight, just because. It was a good day today, though. Better than I thought it was going to be. Had therapy, which was not even planned to be the day after the election. Good thing, that. Good session. Work was busy, which was nice. And I...

Day 4,027: We’re Here

Day 4,027: We’re Here

Thinking about all the women in my life tonight, all of the queer people I know, the gays, lesbians, bi, the trans people, the immigrants and the sons and daughter of immigrants, all the people tonight who are probably feeling like this country hates them, and they...

Day 4,026: Tippy Tappy’s

Day 4,026: Tippy Tappy’s

What will my life be like in three years? You know, honestly? I hope it looks pretty much the same as it does now. I don’t anticipate in three years I’ll be able to move to writing books full time—I mean, you never know, maybe something catches fire and I can, I...

Day 4,025: Ira Unit

Day 4,025: Ira Unit

Invent a holiday. What would it be about and how would people celebrate it? Easy. Star Trek day. Or, fandom-of-your-choice day. A day off every year to watch your favorite show, or go to a convention, have a long weekend, whatever to celebrate whatever your fandom is....

Day 4,024: Saving Daylight

Day 4,024: Saving Daylight

Is there a year of my life I would re-live? 2014 was a banner year. I’m not quite sure that’s what the question means, but I’ll take it that way: 2014 is a year I wouldn’t mind living again, because it was such a (mostly) good time. I wrote my first book, and it was...

Day 4,023: Donuts Make Me

Day 4,023: Donuts Make Me

It’s late, so no question today…long day! Good day, though. We watched the 1956 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much for the podcast. We’re back on that Hitch! It was a good one. A really good one. Underrated, I think. Is it quite up to the heights he reaches with...

Day 4,022: Happy Halloween!

Day 4,022: Happy Halloween!

What historical event fascinates me the most? Huh. This is a fun question…I know what the answer is for Stephen King: the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He wrote a whole book about it, which I’m reading right now (and thoroughly enjoying). For me? Hmmmmmm… That’s...

Day 4,021: Dubs

Day 4,021: Dubs

What is something I think everyone should know? There are so many things…how to read. That their parents love them. The companionship of an animal. I think I’ll go super dad-practical, though: Everyone should know how to manage their money. Which I guess is a...

Day 4,020: Coopey Burrito

Day 4,020: Coopey Burrito

What does it mean to be a kid at heart? It means one has successfully resisted jadedness. Or put in the positive, to not lose one’s sense of wonder. Above all else, I think that’s what children possess upstairs that we come to envy as adults. From awe comes adventure,...

Day 4,017: Wake Me Up

Day 4,017: Wake Me Up

I have three magic genie wishes. What am I wishing for? Too much for my getting-ready-to-sleep mind to figure out right here right now, except to wish that my dogs would be healthy and happy forever. But, in the spirit of the question, I will share a very carefully...
