I like making my own coffee at home. I like making my own coffee at home because I probably can’t make it to a coffee shop without getting a headache, but I also enjoy the process: grinding beans, listening to water burble around, settling into my online newspaper-reading position and, overall, waking up in the [...]
Also tagged Ain't That America, FoodSorry for the posting slowdown — I’ve been away from my computer more than I thought this summer. That’s probably a good thing.
Right now I’m preparing for another fall semester in Nashville. I’ll be teaching a little bit, hope to be writing a lot, and like I said a few weeks ago, that means fewer [...]
That’s what I heard in the classroom I’d been assigned for my summer class — not even chirps. No crickets, no students, no summer school session filled with eager fledgling writers. Apparently nobody wants to write stories this summer. If this was a Tuesday or Thursday (blog photo days), I’d just post a giant picture [...]
Also tagged MFABack in Nashville after a whirlwind of a spring/summer. I keep thinking it’s time for fall, but here we are only halfway through July…that’s good, I think. Lots to do.
Anyway, more later. I need to reacquaint myself with this place.

When I want to scare them I talk about dial-up modems and pagers, and how cell phones were as big as loaves of bread, and how you had to read [...]
Also tagged Ain't That America, MFAI should make a tag and/or category for “Time.” I’m always writing and thinking about how quickly time passes, or how things that happened so long ago feel like they occurred yesterday, or how things that happen yesterday feel so far in the past. But I picked “Travel” for this post because it’s not so [...]
Also tagged Ain't That AmericaI turned my air conditioning off while I was away and returned to an oven. Temperatures have been in the high 90s in Nashville, apparently. My couch felt like it had heated seats. The poor refrigerator was running and running. Even my shampoo was hot…really hot. I spent about an hour standing and/or walking around [...]
Also taggedThis will probably be a slow week. I have some travelin’ to do, and won’t have much Internet access. Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, here I come. Eventually. At some point. I’ll try to post some randomness when I can. Until then, please view the BRODYQUEST video as much as possible.
