MountainGirlz
Mountaingirlz is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to demonstrate to girls on the verge of puberty—especially less-coordinated girls on the verge of puberty, like I was—that they are athletes by guiding them to the top of a mountain. The idea is to make them think in terms of what their bodies can do, not what they look like. At the moment Mountaingirlz is in a holding pattern while I try to convince people to buy my books, but watch this space for further developments as they come.

New, or Practically New
- I reviewed Anne Lamott’s new novel Imperfect Birds in the April issue of San Francisco Magazine.
- I taped recent segments about office romance on CBS's The Early Show and MoneyWatch.
- Read the latest press on Office Mate and check out video and audio clips of our appearances here.
- Check out my latest "City Brights" column for the San Francisco Chronicle.
- My second six-word memoir appears in the book It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure.
- I reviewed Melanie Gideon’s new memoir in the August issue of San Francisco Magazine.
- See my photo—along with that of many writer colleagues—on the back page of the July "Best of the Bay” issue of San Francisco magazine. I have a ditty about corkage fees in there too.
- My most recent Perspective for KQED: “Economic News for Dummies.”
- Fame and Fortune: Currently working on, and shocked to find I’m making headway with, the latter. Partly because of a bit of movement on the former. Perhaps endurance is the key to everything after all.
