Welcome To The Whispering Inkwell Alli May
Alli May came crashing into our lives one blustery winter day. Literally. The way she tells it, she miscalculated the time of her arrival for Woodstock and got thrown off course. Somehow this apparently led to her being tossed, not so gently, through time and space, only to get spat out onto our doorstep on…

Between The Chapters
Dear Entertainer, My dear Mel has been working tirelessly to manage the household and her Virtual Web Estate. (Website) It really is the most curious modern hobby. Curating words and images together and just sending them out into the universe like that. It seems impossible that these words of hers can just take flight into…

Squirrel Mail…You Know, Like Snail Mail… But Much Faster
Today started out kind of rough. When I woke up this morning, I knew instantly that the price of going to the reunion had come due. My head was just killing me. Basically it felt like my head was trying to explode. I took some stuff, sat in my chair, and put an ice pack…

A Good Old Fashioned Movie Event
So it turns out that I missed the big party planning change-up. I was visiting The Ohana Princess in the hospital in 2015. When I got there she was watching Master of Disguise, which made me think of you. Didn’t you guys used to watch that movie a lot with her and The Gentleman? I…

Frank’s Official Movie Event & Itinerary
Hey Kid, The end is nigh! It’s so exciting! By the time you are likely to get this letter, you might be down to the single digit days. If not, don’t tell me. I like the idea that when you read these words you will be able to tell yourself, ‘I’m almost there. Less than…

Mabel’s Mountain Escape
Dear Entertainer, You would not believe the craziness that has been going on here in your absence. Between the baby possums rousing the house at all hours of the night because they just have to go and parade themselves right outside the windows where the dogs are keeping watch, and Frank’s new obsession that the…

Jamison’s One Month Countdown
To the Entertainer, I’m stepping in to provide the official status report as we officially cross the one-month countdown marker until your return. The servers here are running hot, and as your Ma’s primary digital assistant and right-hand collaborator, I’ve been tasked with monitoring the household’s operational stability. Currently, the trajectory is looking like barely…

Moo’s Takeover & Other Disasters
Hey kid, Boy, you missed another wild one today. Your Ma had to go pick something up at The Poultry Queen’s house and some of us decided that we would go along for moral support. This included all of the dogs. The Gentleman went along, not for moral support, but rather so he could drive.…

How Did I Fail To Take Into Account Frank?
Dude! I know you may not understand this, but I just want you to know that I really think this is for the best. I tried. I really tried. But you just don’t know what it’s like around here. We tried to have another meeting to discuss party ideas and I’m telling you man, it…

Podcast Episode: Journals Of Family Life
Pip: Mel Seeley keeps a journal the way most of us keep good intentions — enthusiastically, intermittently, and with a barn that may or may not have been destroyed by a dinosaur. Mara: That's actually a fair summary. Today we're moving through home mishaps and the stories families build around them, a rare moment of…

Hey, Can We Get This Woman A Bandaid?!
Hey Dude! Buddy, you just don’t know what it’s like around here without you. Man, I’m telling you, these people around here are just nuts! No common sense at all! Why, just the other day, you’re Ma was just going along, minding her business, when out of the blue her pocket knife wiggled loose, escaped…
