Geeky Talks
I wrote five books this weekend
“How to feel completely inadequate at one of your best friend’s baby showers that you threw with people much more capable than you are” Parts I & II.
“Why throwing up in a famous web designer’s toilet is better than Schick Shadel for finding ultimate sobriety.”
“Birth Control Via Child Meltdown” - Unabridged
And Finally,
“The Ultimate Diet: Candida Taking Over Your Body. Lose weight without even eating!”
More to come once publication is approved.

Punching Stupid People In the Neck: An Avoidance Manual
Punching Stupid People In the Neck: An Avoidance Manual
I wrote and performed a small one-man show based on the hit tv-show “So you think you can dance”. It wasn’t very successful, and only played once.
My wife’s followup documentary was much more successful, and in syndication all weekend. It was called “Stop that, please stop that… for the love of god why won’t you stop that”.
This weekend we wrote “Taking Your Kids Fishing: The Do’s and Don’ts”, featuring such exciting chapters as:
-“DON’T: Putting an actual hook and bait on a 3 year old’s line.”
-“DO: Space your children out as far as possible.”
-“DON’T: Expect to catch anything.”
-“DO: Expect that if you actually catch something, it will be too much for the Barbie fishing pole your daughter insisted on getting.”
-“DON’T: Spray your 7 year old daughter in the face with the hose at the fish cleaning station, unless you like dramatic sobbing.”
And, one of the most important chapters:
-“DO: Expect a lot of whining. About everything.”
How to eat far, far too much while staring at a computer.
In fact, I’ve written that book before.
We can call this a reprint.
This and that, mostly I missed you.
