Charles writes about success in the Poetry World. I have something to say about it and will need to write that post another time.
Chicago’s Berghoff restaurant will close in February. We ate there 3-4 times while at AWP in Chicago. Very sad news.
that we miss out on what we’d have learned from our mothers and grandmothers about baby care or, really, anything. Instead of “babies,” insert the word “car maintenance.” Before I had Olive, I read nearly every book on pregnancy — except for that depressing What to Expect book, which I promptly threw away — and […]
This week MLA takes place in Washington. We’re running around to see friends — some in for MLA and some friends from in town — and have had lots of family around, too. Yesterday we gathered 12 of us together for lunch at Normandie Farms in Potomac, MD. Go there if you can. They have […]

Finally, it’s cold! I looked at the thermometer in the kitchen the other day — 19 degrees. That’s completely unacceptable, except it isn’t. Somehow I managed to go outside and climb into the car. The key didn’t even go in the lock the first three times I tried. Yikes! By noon, the temperature had become […]
Last weekend, we went to a party at the Clipper City Brewery. The party took place right on the factory floor. Of course, we brought Olive. She loves parties. We prepared her for future atrocities; she put her lips to Bill’s beer class. Of course, we had to take pictures of that. I even splurged […]
