    I’m looking for recommendations. What do you read daily or weekly? Blogs are good, obviously, but they needn’t be blogs to get a daily visit.

    That’s either an image of me lecturing you, or me trying to zap you with evil invisible fingernail fungus rays. You decide! It’s like Choose Your Own Adventure for miscreants and deviants! So.

    “Mise En Place”

    Yesterday I said, hey, I’m writing a new book. And I said, hey, I’m-a take you through all the steps as I stumble through them. Before I get into that, before I talk about what I’ve already done, I need to make clear that for a while, those steps are not going to include… well, [...]
