I'm the Chief Primatologist / Sole Employee of the long running zine, The East Village Inky , Bust Magazine's Mother Superior, and the author of four self-mocking autobiographies:

The Big Rumpus: A Mother's Tale From The Trenches

No Touch Monkey! And Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late

Job Hopper

Dirty Sugar Cookies: Culinary Observations, Questionable Taste
