Better

If it’s true that it’s better to be lucky than smart, then I have it made.

Because when the trailer for the American Blogger documentary came out earlier this week, I had friends who contacted me to spoof it.

And I’m smart enough to jump on it.

Enjoy:

Thanks to Neil, who always has the best ideas.

And more news!

I’m very braggy because I was asked to contribute to a new humor collection, Moms are Nuts. My essay is about some of Mama’s eccentricities, and even though I obtained Mama’s permission before writing it, I wasn’t able to get them to change the title to Moms are Nuts, In My Opinion, Which is Often Wrong, per her suggestion/demand. So who knows what will happen when she reads it, but just in case, it’s been nice knowing you.

And I promise you if you buy a dozen or so copies of this book, at some point you’ll ask yourself “who did Marinka blackmail to be included with those hysterical writers. And why did I buy 12 copies of the same book? Is this why I’m always broke? I must make better shopping decisions.”

But we’ll file that under “next month’s problems.”

Thanks, as always, for reading and checking in. I’ll update soon about new things going on in my life (as soon as I make them up, obviously).

I know how lucky I am.
