* Newsflash!! - I may be starting a reading series in Astoria that will (hopefully) begin in September. I will be inviting writers to submit their work for the series. Ten minutes per author, 6 - 8 authors will read for the evening.
Questions I want answers to (in order of importance from least to most):
What are my plans for tonight?
Is it bad to want to hire a person to clean the house even though I have off for the summer?
Why are some of my plants dying?
Am I mildly allergic to goat cheese or clam strips? (I had both last night and felt a tightness in my chest.)
Should I treat mean people fairly?
