Story Time

Hi all,

Recently, I had the pleasure of reading at one of Tracy Slater's Four Stories reading nights in Central Square. Four Stories is a literary series bridging Greater Boston’s nightlife and arts community. Each event features appearances from some of the most acclaimed authors in the nation, all reading their work under a unified theme.

Everybody's Talking!

Some of you are saying, "Okay, where's the new baby, already!" Others of you are saying, "What? What new baby? They haven't mentioned anything about a new baby."

We, meanwhile, are saying things like: "Out of your mouth! What did you eat?!" But that's only because we are talking to Noa. Our every conversation with her is filled with directives like: "Be a good girl," and "Don't put that in your mouth." I've come to learn that fatherhood means constantly taking things out of my daughter's mouth. She is unable to walk in the yard without attempting to eat everything out there, and for some reason she is most interested in dead leaves. The other day, I unearthed an entire acorn shell. She may have eaten the acorn. We'll find out eventually.

The new baby has not yet arrived. The due date was October 26th. It is a boy. I apologize to those who are just finding out about this now. We'll be sure to keep you better informed on this blog, in the very near future.

We are having a home birth (FMD's!), so all flowers, chocolate, money, etc. may be sent directly to us.

Huh?

One of the ESPN announcers just announced that in the first quarter, Kobe Bryant quote "came out like a house of fire."

Anyone care to tell me what that's supposed to mean? Anyone?

Comedic Genius Confirmed

Yet again my comedic genius has been reaffirmed.

This headline ran on today's Yahoo front page:
Some gay couples are having trouble obtaining divorces

This is a trend I had predicted some years ago, though obviously as a gag, on the National Lampoon website. And now it has come to be! Here's my take:
After Marriage, Gay Couple not so Happy

Who wants to hire me now??? Come on, let's hear it! I'm not proud. I'll consider all offers.

This email came in today

This showed up in my inbox today, from Rob Willington :

"Did you read the papers today...?
Both the Boston Globe and Boston Herald have reported that Deval Patrick is trying to jump over the legislature to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. This is outrageous.
We need a movement to stop Deval. Signing this petition below is just a small, small start. Can you email this petition along to your friends and urge them to sign it as well? The louder we are, the more effective we will be.
Here is the link http://www.massgop.com/GetActive/Petition.aspx to sign the petition.
Thanks,
-Rob

To which I responded:

Dear Mr. Willington,

You’re so right! Much better to keep them poor and/or stupid!!!! Finally, a Republican who acts with the compassion for his fellow man Lincoln was famous for! I’m so glad you’re the executive director!

Yours,
Steve Brykman
