I'm wacking bugs off my monitor as I read your words so the Grass Hoppers are very entertaining. Could you write a story about a city girl who moves to the country? She wants to stay up and blog all night in the dark but the bugs won't leave the monitor alone. "No, RED licorice, lady. The wine tastes like RED licorice. And then there’s just a hint of Blue Razzleberry and a flutter of Red Hots–are you kidding me?" WACK! "It tastes like a pet store. A very salty pet store. Like what fish food might taste like. I can feel its little legs crackle between my teeth. This is not a crispy-crunchy treat." WACK! WACK! Could the heroine's name be Lara? So funny!

Do you write for a paper? Have you published? I googled you, but couldn't find. . . You're funnier than most published essayist, including Barry and Sedaris. Who are you? Do you write for a paper?

I check out a few blogs here and there, but yours is the first that I've ever commented on. I absolutely had to. I am not an easy laugh by any means but your 'hint of Blue Razzleberry and a flutter of Red Hots' really had me going. Your writing is refreshing-- can't wait to read more.

This is very funny-- I ate a cockroach once, to impress the man who became my husband. He was impressed. I love the man blowing his nose on singles.
