1. My essay "Ode to My Son's Audiobooks" appears in the new issue of The Sewanee Review. This may be the first time I've ever shared a table of contents with Billy Collins.

2. One thing that binds my family together seems to be a weakness for cute baby walruses.

3. Dinner last night: pork chops, first rubbed with salt and crushed green peppercorns, then left to their own devices for 3 hours, and finally pan roasted and served on a bed of buttered chard and spinach fettucine and topped with a fresh tomato, garlic, rosemary, vermouth, and parsley sauce. Accompanied by a salad of arugula and diced red and yellow beets.

4. First draft of the anthology cover:

Your dinner sounds amazing

And I like the cover draft

I wonder about the cute baby walruses

Something about that little mustache, like a chubby kid dressed up like an old man. Plus splashing around in the kiddie pool and holding hands with the keepers. Also his favorite toy is a plastic bucket, which he likes to wear on his head. None of us can resist a 300 lb. baby walrus with a bucket on his head.
