I watched the film adaptation of McCarthy’s ‘Blood Meridian’. Less than impressed. However, Martin Short’s portrayal of the Kid was inspired.

I present the most french of french delicacies. Pruneaux fourrés. Some french prune farmers decided the only way to improve their plums was to stuff them with more plums.

I needed to look up my French editor's name to make sure I spell it right (his name has so many accent marks it looks like a cactus) and I found this great photo. This was the first event in France at Librairie Le livre et la tortue in Paris. That's pretty much how I remember the event going.

Whenever my daughters struggle to open a jar, I do it and say 'Raw Power!' #iggypop
Now when they need me to open a jar or lid they just shout, 'Papa! I need Raw Power!'
I'm not going to lie. It gives me a little boost. 💪

They say you shouldn’t live your dreams through your children. They are wrong. Behold last night’s dinner. My daughter wanted quadruple potato. I made it happen.

I was reminded of the time that during a book signing someone asked for an inspirational quote in addition to my signature. I panicked and wrote the first thing that came to mind.
