HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY, TAWNA!!!! I want to make a cake shaped like the cover of Making Waves, but with inappropriate toys instead of candles. Or just with inappropriate candles, so you can… you know… blow them. I can’t help but think in sexually loaded double entendres when I think about Tawna’s book. I warn you — this is a hazard when you read Making Waves. Another hazard? You won’t want…

I’ve got to be honest — I don’t get the whole “beach read” thing. By that I don’t mean that I won’t take a book to the beach. On the contrary, I will ALWAYS take a book to the beach… or to the movies (time before the movie starts), or to the supermarket (checkout lines!), or anywhere and everywhere else I go. What I don’t get is why any book…
Less than a year ago, I was at a Billy Joel concert with my friend Julie, SCOFFING — not just laughing, actively scoffing — at her because she was Tweeting. “Who are you sending that to?” I asked. “Anyone following me,” she replied. “Who’s following you?” I asked. “Oh, I don’t know. Just a few random people. Some friends. You know.” I didn’t know. I thought it sounded absurd. Why…

My hobbies are not interesting. Hiking, biking, traveling, cooking, reading…I just fell asleep typing that and now I have drool seeping between the spacebar and the comma. My pets have cooler hobbies than I do. Here’s evidence: Blue Cat has a shoe fetish. He indulges this hobby at every opportunity, paying no mind to the style of the shoe or the hygiene of its owner. Monday it was my jewel-encrusted…
