But Hollywood week continues here on Fussy: Jack’s dad was on AMC this morning in a movie called Tension at Table Rock. It’s a not-too-bad grade-B cowboy flick, made in the fifties. Jack’s dad isn’t on the screen for five minutes before he gets shot and killed, of course, which made Jack’s mom laugh and laugh. (They were divorced when Jack was small.) She actually hooted, and said to Jackson, “Grandpa’s laying down!” Jackson seemed confused, since Grandpa’s been laying down under a big tree in Connecticut for about six years now, but things cleared up for him after I took him to the port-a-crib and forced him to take a nap. Then I sped away to the public library’s computer room, because God knows I can’t be separated from the Internet for more than forty-eight hours without breaking out in hives.

Let's Panic About Babies! is a book I wrote with the delightful Alice Bradley. You will like it if you are currently pregnant, if you have children, or if you have absolutely no intention of having children. Not just because it's funny, but because you can burn it to stay warm.
Clicking on the cover will take you to the publisher's web site, clicking here will take you to Amazon.com, or, you can go to Let's Panic! the web site, preview some of the material in the book, and read a whole lot of bonus stuff we post for free when we feel like it, which isn't often anymore. It's a full-time job managing the enormous wealth that comes from writing a fake parenting book.
