In order to provide for our family, Meg and I need to work. And we cannot work while caring for our daughter, so we need childcare. And yet you feel every hour you're not with child. To be a parent is careful management of guilt. You're going to mess some things up, you just try to minimize which ones.
Having a daughter has also meant revisiti...

I microwaved some leftover fish the other day, and it smelled disgusting. To be fair, it smelled exactly how leftover fish should smell like, which is to say there was nothing wrong with the fish. I don’t eat fish a lot, though, so the aroma is a bit jarring sometimes.
My whole kitchen and living room just got filled with trout and broccoli (the broccoli wasn’t helping matters, no.) a...

2022-11-01 04:10:34 +0000 UTC View PostI love writing prompts. Any kind of structure or restriction that helps me focus my imagination. Blank screens are really daunting, because there's nothing there to tell you what to do next. So having some kind of framework can really help.
Of course, in longer-form writing, we outline. That helps fill up the open field of the word processor with fences and rivers and hills and mountains....

2022-10-17 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostThis episode was written by request.
We needed an episode that didn't have Cecil in it, because Cecil was going to be away for quite awhile in Europe, and we just didn't have time to write and record enough episodes to cover that period before he left. So I had vague plans to write an episode for Steve Carlsberg, because Hal is always a delight to write for. But I didn't have much of a cl...

She has been with us nearly from the beginning, having first been introduced in September of 2013, during the show’s second year. I had to look that up, because I had no idea when she originated, other than I was pretty sure it was an episode I wrote. As it turned out, it was episode 31, A Blinking Light Up on the Mountain. That is an inte...

But good god, Three's Company made me so tense. it was the ultimate sitcom, in that it was a comedy built entirely on situational misunderstandings. A classic sex farce, really. And it twisted my guts watchi...

I passed several buildings that had been tagged many times over. The walls of these stores and brownstones had patchworks of colorful initials and phrases.
