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.

1/17/24: I have a story in Cosmopolitan this month, part of a big online package on Sex after 60. My humble contribution is here. Thanks to my daughter Jane, now at Columbia Journalism School, who alerted me to a pitch request on Twitter, ultimately giving me the opportunity to write a sequel to a sex story I did for Cosmo in July 1995. It's been a long strange trip, for sure. And don't ask me about the insane art, I had nothing to do with it.
