So my "baby brother" (and I use that term very loosely) has been reading Tucker's book, and I mentioned that I knew someone who knew Tucker. And he FLIPS OUT, like, "REALLY? THAT IS SO COOL!" Then I have to clarify that I don't really know this person who doesn't really know Tucker, I just read the blog of a person who one night happened to hang out with Tucker. I read him your Tucker stories from this entry, which he thought were hilarious, and he let me know that Tucker does NOT recount the school bus story in I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. So none of us have to wonder any more!

For some reason, the Mr. Linky link isn't showing up in my browser. I'll switch and try again. But, in any case, anyone who wants to read my Takes is welcome to c'mon over to Exultet.

Thanks for the heads up on the book. I doubt I'll ever truly write a book, but I know some people who would love it as a Christmas gift.

And my daughter is totally into Barbie right now. And it's rubbing off. Fun stuff.

Couldn't agree more about Donald Maas and Writing the Breakout Novel. It's the one book on writing I find myself returning to over and over again. Like Mary, I met Donald in person at one of his workshops here in San Diego. He was developing his Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook at the time, so we got to be the first to use some of the exercises.

Hanging my head … am I the only one who thought Tucker Max was funny?? Obviously, I do not agree with his moral standing, but I laughed until I cried at some of those stories. (Jennifer, I found him a few years ago, when I was dating my husband)

Continue on with your wonderful blog!

I found your blog from Minnesota Mom's link in her blog (I read a BUNCH of Catholic blogs)and oh my gosh– this is akin to the six degrees of separation phenomenon. Here's the weirdness: My son started working for the aforementioned Tucker Max 3 years ago (disclaimer: I have not, nor will not read the book or see the movie)right around the time my daughter became a cloistered contemplative nun. And yes they were raised in the same house with the same parents! Your conversion story gives me hope that my son will come back to his Catholic roots someday
