Coming next spring from @DuttonBooks ! I couldn't find the book I wanted to read, so I wrote it. MAINE CHARACTERS is my love letter to lake life. The vibe: 🌅 rustic New England scenery 🌲The Parent Trap, all grown up 🦞 lobster with Chardonnay ⛵️ boats, barbecues, bonfires

Seinfeld premiered 30 years ago today on July 5, 1989. It's my family's very favorite show — because of it, our tradition is to say "you're so good-looking" instead of "bless you" when we sneeze. In honor of George Costanza, here's a photo of my family from a few summers back.
