A post about BDH’s favorite scenes and a small giveaway.
Corporate Agility
We are waiting on the edit of Maggie, and as I explained to my therapist yesterday, everything is too hard. Folding laundry? Too hard. Going for a walk? Too hard. Driving? Definitely too hard. However, some signs of brain activity are returning, so here is a tiny scene for you. “As you know, Maria, the

Truth Hurts
On Book Clubs and Hot Takes

Yarn Love: Expect the Unexpected
Gordon collects action figures. (Please don’t send him any. He already has pretty much everything.) When a new package arrives to the house, he almost always informs me that the purchase is a “preorder.” As in, it wasn’t a recent splurge, but something that was paid for long ago. I don’t care if it’s preorder

Do you have any cooking tips or tricks? I just have the usual home cook stuff. Let’s see. Um. Giving cooking advice is always slightly controversial. For example, I do not cook our pan-seared steaks in a bath of butter. One, we don’t need the extra calories and saturated fats and especially lactose; two, steak is
