First things first: I just made a bomb pot of three-bean chili.

Imma be all over this with some cornbread chips tomorrow.

I've spent some time reviewing the analytics for this blog, and I have a few questions that I would honestly like some feedback on.

By far the posts that are getting the most views are the serious ones (the top two right now are Apology Accepted and Clearing the Air). Would you like more posts about semi-serious and/or introspective topics?
Would it be helpful if I added a "subscribe" option on the site so that you get an e-mail notification when I post? I'm not sure how many of you follow me on social media, and I push the blog pretty hard on all of my accounts so I don't want to overdo it.
Would anyone read an e-mail newsletter? Right now I'm not sure what I could add to it that's not already on the blog, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Alright, I have some "homework" to do tonight, so I'm gonna wrap this up. Jessica and I are reading Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin, and Kiera and I are going to start Gabrielle Union's book We're Going to Need More Wine. Erin and I are still slogging through Journal 29 and the daily writing prompts, and Jess and I are writing a short story a week. I'm tired and I still need to work on my set for Comedy Burger, but the sleeplessness is worth it.

I just linked my Goodreads account, so follow me on there if you want to be part of this virtual book club with my motley crew of friends.

I'm going to leave you with this:

I'll just wave my hands around it to turn it into a real tree.
