We have snacks (low cal), beer (not low cal, and in Georgia you have to remember to buy it before Sunday), I have laptop mindless work to do, and we have a big screen in our TV room ready for...
Puppy Bowl. With Kitten half-time show. (Okay, I'll switch over to Springsteen, too.)
About Me
- jessica handler
- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

The Super Bowl is this weekend? ;-)
I don't recognize myself, either, but you've got to remember, I'm married to a man who says he likes to "watch football with eyes closed." My in-laws still tease me because I didn't know who Peyton Manning is. (And I've since forgotten. A football guy, right?)
Hey, it's an excuse to eat garbage and look at large guys. And where's the argument there??
:)
Peyton Manning is quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts and in college he played for the University of Tennessee (my alma mater). Which for my family means Peyton is one step above my our rabbi, but not as important as the state of Israel. It's complicated.
LOL. And Peyton Manning's brother is named Eli, which confuses me, because he's not a Jew, and the only people named Eli I've ever encountered (my grandfather, for one) are Jews.
It's complicated.
