My boss is a rock star.
Yes, an undead vampire apparently has enough viable sperm to impregnate a human woman while fucking her off the coast of Rio de Janero. Stephenie Meyer, you fabulous idiot!”

Stanzas Before Time (John Ashberry)
Quietly as if it could be
otherwise, the ocean turns
and slinks back into her panties.
Reefs must know something of this,
and all the incurious red fish
that float ditsily in schools,
wondering which school is best.
I’d take you for a drive
in my flivver, Miss Ocean, honest, if I could.

Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
My colleague Joe sent this Amazon product around the office today, and the user comments are priceless. A small sample:
“This has been a total lifesaver. It allows me to prop my sheet music against the wheel, allowing me to play the guitar with both hands while driving.”
“Wow is this thing great! I use it as a mini-bar when the friends and I go out to the bars. I can quickly fix multiple shots of tequila for myself and the friends as we drive from one bar to the next. We also discovered that if you place a pillow on top of it and turn on the cruise control you can catch quick naps on the interstate. If you swerve to the left or right the rumble strips on the road wake you up in plenty of time before you get into trouble. I can now take longer trips without being tired!”
“The product description is incomplete. This doesn’t need to just be used for laptops! I use it to chop vegetables, play solitaire, and roll dough for delicious croissants (at stoplights of course, I’m not dumb!). This is an amazing time saver for busy urbanites on the go.”
Dear Eric, How did I not know that you have your own series on PBS, “Avec Eric?” Don’t worry, I’m not planning on missing another episode. I’ll make up for what lost time I can. You fox. Love, Anna
