My dad was fixing me some leftover hue dup bap (Korean rice bowl with raw fish.) Dad: Want some of those refried beans on top? Me: what? No! Just gochujang sauce Dad: or we have leftover marinara Me, shocked: Dad, no, EW, stop Dad, totally confused: They’re both red sauce. What’s the problem?

My 19yo is studying to be a machinist and she made these cool knobs to go on the ends of a handle on a piece of equipment in the machine shop. She is a genius and I adore her.

The only thing cuter than a baby in a pumpkin costume is his parents, friends of mine who struggled with infertility for many years and finally had a baby this year. Their faces in every picture look like they’ve won the lottery. LOOK AT OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN.

My 9yo friend in Seattle made a Flareon out of modeling clay and sent it to me via his mom who just came to visit. I made a flower crown Glaceon to send back. (Both were inspired by the all-important question, what’s your favorite eeveelution?)

My most lucrative piece of writing ever was the grad school application essay that won me a full-tuition scholarship. But ransom notes sound like more fun, and potentially easier to replicate. Grad school was kind of a one-off thing.
