Stories of self-mythology, self-aggrandisement, and an awful lot of completely avoidable self-injury. Welcome one and all. Thursday, January 27, 2005. In Which I Get Letters. So the phone rings this morning and it's my assistant, who never EVER calls me at home when I'm sick unless the Huns are coming over the 7th hill, unless the British are burning the White House, unless Lois Lane is dangling by her bra strap from a flagpole on the Daily Planet building. I love your magazine. I really think you sh...

My dad is quite the character in my life, and therefore on this blog. He is a wise and wry presence in my life, but was not always.

Stories of self-mythology, self-aggrandisement, and an awful lot of completely avoidable self-injury. Welcome one and all. Tuesday, September 20, 2005. I used to teach a few different college courses on writing, mostly journalism and magazine writing. Getting paid to stand up and talk about me to a group of people has always sounded like a sweet deal and I've really enjoyed every time I've done it.

All right, he lived across the street and down about eight houses, but still&#...

I've always had a really good memory, at least as far as it goes on matters of general trivia, lines from movies, key appearances of super-heroes in various comics, and events from my own childhood.

My friends and I are just helpless. All three of us beanpoles wouldn't be enough to fill one pantleg of the biggest of them, a real farm-boy bruiser named Bruce who this day incites his crew to violence beyond mere pushing around. He nods to one of his thugs, and the kid jabs Jimmy in the gut. What I realize...
