Finally, finally! After years of writing and editing, Book 2 in the “C’mon Funk Series” released today! The following is an excerpt from the Acknowledgements: WTF is with this pandemic?! I began writing “C’mon Funk Move Your Ass” in 2006 on a ship called The Queen Mary II, and I wrote the last line at 6:24 p.m. on June 24, 2016, in Long Beach, New York.

The second title, C’mon Funk, Move […]

Universe? Why don’t you pick on someone your own size? Recently, Funk and I replaced an incredibly ugly coffee table with a more stylish piece from Anthropologie. Ever since we purchased it, he’s been stubbing his size 16 feet on the legs and howling like a little baby. And of course, every time he does, I fall into a heap of laughter on the floor. One day not too long ago, I had my girlfriends over for lunch. They’ve been hosting me ever since that most terrible thing happened the summer of 2020, so I went all out for them. […]
