How To Be A Good Houseguest
The chapter I wrote for the book, The Experts' Guide To 100 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do, is mentioned in today's New York Times Styles section:
Amy Alkon, also known as the Advice Goddess, can come stay with me anytime. Her advice on how to be a good houseguest — be neat, be quiet, leave soon — flows from this essential truth."People are annoying," she writes. "All people. Including you, me and Jennifer Aniston. Like the rest of us, you're loud, messy, demanding and unsightly, with numerous irritating habits, which degenerate from irritating to excruciating the longer you're around."
I guess, now, I should write another whole book, not just go chapter by chapter.
let me be the first to second that motion.

The projection is to finish the proposal for my book with my friend Nat by Xmas! And thank you for being my literary conscience! PS I just interviewed somebody, and I tried to do my best David Rensin imitation possible -- well, how I imagine you as an interviewer, anyway!
