Well, basically I am dumping about 80 pages. Garbage can city. Might only be 56, but might be 102 or so. We'll see how many. Doesn't matter how many. They have to go. I've been sticking to my outline very carefully, and, frankly, as much as my outlines are so vital to...

Could You People Please Stop Dying and Getting Married. Thanks.
So I am going to a wedding this weekend. I hate weddings. It’s not just because I can’t dance and therefore hate dancing, which is ultimately what the whole goddamn thing ends up being about. If it was just dancing, fine. Whatever. Have an open bar and watch how much...

Why Victoria’s Secret, Carl’s Junior and the NFL Suck and Force Me to Play Golf
You know what’s really pissing me off these days? Aging. Aging is pissing me off. Aging and Victoria’s Secret. And Carl’s Junior. A little bit the NFL, too. But mostly aging. And I have to tell you, I have been very cool about aging to this point. I’ve accepted it...
Mammoth Tusks and the Great Nose Hair Trimmer Terror
So I was brushing my teeth the other day and happened to glance up into the mirror. I don't usually look at myself very closely because A) I already know what I look like, and B) I don't really care. Thinking that way, especially that last part, is a kind of attitude...
