I'm doing a book launch and signing event on February 24 in Salt Lake City. It should be a fun little show. You can get tickets now! elimccann.eventbrite.com

Came home to a shipment of copies of my book, We're Thankful for the Moisture. Available for preorder (see my linktree in my bio) for release on February 17. (Winnie the Pooh doll and wine bottle not included.)

I'm on a flight and this monster next to me is watching a horror film* and there are children around who can see it. *E.T. The film this person is watching is E.T.

Not only does the video evidence make clear that the gun was removed, but the agent who took the first shot was looking right at it and therefore knew he was disarmed when he commenced the execution.

I placed a cheese stick on my child's highchair and then turned around to pick up the kid to put him in the highchair and by the time I turned back around the cheese stick was gone and we cannot figure out where it went.

The absolute insanity of utah Republican politics right now. (Thanks @bagleycartoons.bsky.social)

Skylar couldn't be bothered to put on a shirt and our child couldn't be bothered to look at the camera or smile. But I showed up for work. Merry Christmas.

This was such a beautiful and thoughtful piece. Give it a read

So what happened is Scrooge got an entire night of free quality life-changing therapy from professionals with unlimited resources and psychic powers. The rich keep getting richer.

Tl;dr: I did a two minute interview on TV regarding homelessness services (for The Road Home in Utah) and in the least surprising news, my mother thinks I was the best thing on tv.

My last remaining grandparent is struggling, and damn, it is so hard to say goodbye to a generation in a family.

You'll never believe who just climbed in bed with me to snuggle all night long.

Love getting texts like this out of the blue from my husband. So encouraging.

Proud to endorse Ben in this race. It's important that we elect someone who is competent, not just loud.

He's still wondering why you didn't wish him a happy birthday this month. (He's 9 now.)

Find someone who loves you as much as my husband loves to brush his teeth in the airport restroom before and after every flight.

He has learned he has to climb up as far onto the couch as he can to avoid the reach of the baby.

Every time I have a column come out in the newspaper my sweet husband insists on buying a physical copy so he can read it and say "this one was really special." We love a cheerleader.

I'm told the paywall on this was removed. Enjoy!

Daylight savings tonight. Don't forget to put out cookies for Santa.

Halloween is such a perfect holiday to reground yourself in your community. Just throngs of different people wandering the neighborhood with their kids appreciating strangers for helping create something magical. This is what most of us crave.

Pooh, Piglet, and I'm supposed to be Christopher Robbin.

Good morning I fully just vomited in my backyard from taking the dirty diapers out to the garbage I am not cut out to be a parent

Am I paranoid to think they are judging me

Feeling really great that my child's first word is not "dad" but instead is "poo."

People told us if we got a pack and play, our baby would love it. They didn't specify which baby though.
