  2. Rob, I guess you are posting a warning to anyone who is thinking of staying with you. Some people don’t like being hosts — I guess you are one of them.

    One thing I would ask of guests though is to be sensitive to a person’s morning schedule during the week and whether or not they feel like talking at 6am. I had one person over who heard me stirring before 6 am and thought that was a signal to get up and start excitedly talking about something complicated. I can manage the basic social graces, like saying Good Morning, how did you sleep but that’s about it. I also loathe people at work who have meetings at 7 am.

    – Pink bathing cap with a chair on my head (piece of gum stuck to the bottom of a chair)

    – Dressed all in green holding a volleyball (Irish setter)

    His actress / maternal grandmother, not so much.

    His mother refers to herself as my “Danish Jewish Mother”, and when I’m in Denmark, I stay with her and his stepfather.

    As for my friend, he is now published in 17+ countries, and had one of his novels published in the U.S. last year. And he lives in Carroll Gardens.
