There, I’ve done it. According to my blog pal Melissa, mere mention of chicken jumpers will increase my readership something like sixty trillion per cent, if only for a moment or two. Although you might be cringing at the thought of chicken suicides, it’s actually about chicken sweaters, which is what we in The Colonies [...]

It’s not that I don’t still love my chickens, no, no, no. It’s just that they have persisted in refusing to do anything newsworthy lately. Yes, they have been molting and in need of chicken jumpers, but I didn’t want to type those words because I don’t want to steal traffic from my blog pal [...]

We had a heavily literary weekend in Sun Valley at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, which was just as awesome as always. This was our fourth time there, and it’s our favorite event of every year. I’ll have lots to say about it later on. For now I will report that I discussed the laying [...]
