Lou Reed and Erma Bombeck and be
this consistently funny."

7/17/2024: I had an essay come out in a the print-only lit journal Agni a few months ago and I have been patiently waiting for the moment when I can post it on the Fishbowl site and share it here. That would be... today! This version is a little different, including developments since the first iteration, also images and a bit of commentary. It's about home, family, genealogy, and steamed clams, and you can read it here.
