Fellas, have you ever shaved for the first time in a year and discovered that your face is a shapeless blob and you are a horrifying monster? #lookaway

I’ve reached the age where I can no longer read characters’ text messages on TV shows.

My wife is reading my soon-to-be-published novel and she keeps falling asleep and I’m sure it’s fine because she’s just really busy and has a lot on her plate right now and I’m going to go wander in the woods for a minute no big deal I’m fine hahahahaha.

I’m not religious, but I like that the Pope probably has thoughts on the Cubs.

Book People: My 6th novel, GRACE & HENRY’S HOLIDAY MOVIE MARATHON, is available on NetGalley. Crack open some eggnog and request a copy today. (Wait, no. Eggnog in May is a terrible idea. Maybe Dr Pepper?) #booksky 📚

This book is amazing. It also looks cool against subtle earth tones. I’m just reporting the news here. #booksky 📚

I bought a jacket that I saw on Instagram and now Instagram is showing me the same jacket. Like, care to double down, sir?

Wherever you stand on this whole “Gorilla vs 100 men” question, you have to admit it would be a pretty confusing afternoon for the gorilla.

My wife doesn’t use a bookmark, she just remembers what page she’s on, and that’s simply insane.

I texted my daughter to “be careful and have fun” but my phone changed it to “fearful” and that probably works too.

Also worth noting, on Indie Bookstore Day, that Libro.fm is having an incredible sale which will directly support the local bookshop of your choice. libro.fm/sale/all

The extra syllable Brits use when saying “aluminum” is mostly why they lost the empire. #history

I feel like the guy who plays James Bond next should have more of an everyman vibe. Maybe he’s in his late 40s and American and has some trouble with his right knee and just sort of wants to be left alone.

Sometimes when I exercise a few days in a row I like to dial it back a little because if I get too ripped my wife will lose respect for me on an intellectual level. #fitness

Honest question asked out of ignorance: If $5m suddenly appeared in my account, would Bank of America call me and be like, “What’s up with this, bro?” #thewhitelotus

Whenever I finish writing a book I spend about a month doing all the little errands I put off for a year. Then one day all those errands are done and I’m like, “I guess I have to write another book now.” #process

Because of Friends no one my age can hear Tiny Dancer without thinking of Tony Danza and that’s an impressive legacy.

Had a physical the other day and my doctor asked if I smoke. I told him no but I’m thinking of starting, and he said I should because nothing matters.

I know crashing the economy on purpose seems harsh, but it’ll all be worth it when the seventh Little Mermaid is white

So many great Val Kilmer movies! But if you haven’t checked out “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” you need to immediately. It’s terrific.

What’s a movie or show that was huge but you never saw/watched? For me, Game of Thrones. No shade. Just didn’t seem like my thing. 🐉#popconfession

I don’t know what this says about me but I have no reaction whatsoever to detailed pics of the surface of Mars. I’m just like, “Scroll, scroll, scroll. Oh look, a dog wearing sunglasses!”

One evening shortly after my wife and I started dating she sighed at me and said, “So, wow, yeah, baseball is really on every day, huh?” ⚾️ ❤️

I was listening to my vinyl copy of October by #U2 and my daughter turned it off so she could practice piano and honestly who is this little nerd who lives in my house? 🎹

GRACE & HENRY’S HOLIDAY MOVIE MARATHON is in final edits. That means it’s time to fill up the plot board for the next novel. What do you all think? Time travel? Vampires? Maybe a sequel? DOMESTIC VIOLETS 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS? #booksky 📚

Any advice for applying eye drops to a corgi? Sneak attack? Choke hold?

Some advice if you’re horrified all of the time lately. Play music as much as you reasonably can. I tend to fill silence with dread, and music really helps curb that.

Years ago I was leaving a bar and some random guy yelled, “Have a good night, collared shirt man!” and my friends still talk about it.

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”
