Welcome to Dynoland, the home of all things Dyno!
My husband listened to a Freakonomics podcast today and was talking to me about it. In it, there was a woman who had taught at Princeton and then went to work for Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State. But then her teenaged son, who was with her family back in Princeton, really started … Read more
Sorry so long no post. I been bizzy. School this semester has been an interesting mix — an absolutely wonderful, inspiring writing class that makes me want to rewrite my whole book to perfection, and a frustrating, expensive, but soon-to-be obsessive book arts class. I’m not up to a level of functionality to adequately tackle … Read more

Here is a picture of my brother Justin from around the time of my sister Byitny’s (Brittany for you normalos) wedding. I told him he looked like Mexican Mafia. He was so happy.
I’m down in Oklahoma for a few days for my sister’s wedding and to visit my family. It’s hot and humid (heat index of 115 yesterday!) and I’m consistently lost even though I grew up here, but I’m having fun. Mostly. One thing I don’t like about being around my family is the chaos factor. … Read more
