My Encounter With Mandeep

It has been a long, long time since I've written a real blog. Since the pandemic days, in fact. But this warrants it. So there I was, going about my usual afternoon busywork at the AVN compound, when I hear a call from downstairs: "Hello?" I thought I heard my co-worker moving in that direction to see what was up, but then a few minutes later: "Hello?" Looked like it was gonna be up to me.

Jack Handey Writes a Novel

As you may or may not be aware, Jack Handey is my biggest writing hero other than Woody Allen. That Handeyville thing I'm always invoking is in fact an homage to him.

Carry on.
