Hi.
\nI wanted to say a quick couple of things.<\/p>\n

First, a last-minute reminder for my neighbors in Ballard and the other good people of Seattle and the surrounding area: I\u2019m giving a talk and reading tonight, May 10, at the Ballard Library<\/a>. It\u2019s free and open to the public, and it starts at 6:30 pm. (In case you\u2019re confused, not to worry: this is the event that was originally scheduled for April 18 and had to be postponed.) Secret Garden Bookshop will be there to sell books, and miracle of miracles, I\u2019ve even convinced Brandon to come and listen, though he has to listen to me talk every single day and it\u2019s his night off and he would rather be sleeping. We\u2019re going to have a great time. You\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n

Also, I have some exciting news to share! Not too long ago, I was asked to contribute to a book called Sundays Are For Lovers<\/span><\/a>, the newest volume by Lines & Shapes<\/a>. The book features some of my favorite artists in a number of different media, and I think it\u2019s going to be beautiful. It comes out on June 15, but as of today, it\u2019s available for pre-order<\/a> at a reduced price. The book\u2019s curator, my friend Maria, did some fancy footwork<\/a> [warning: this link has music<\/span>] to celebrate the occasion, and that pretty well sums up how we all feel about it.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, I made some totally mediocre waffles for my mother yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTotally mediocre. It bears repeating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe woman put me on this earth, and I made her iffy waffles. They tasted like nothing. I want to do better. I don\u2019t ask you for favors often, but: do you have a favorite waffle recipe? A tried-and-true? If so, would you point me toward it? My mother and I would appreciate it.<\/p>\n

Be right back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
