2023-02-27 Goals? We Don’t Need No Stinking Goals…
Hello friends. Welcome to the end… of February. 😜 About a month ago I posted a beefy January wrap-up that talked about everything under the sun–writing, books, shows, diet, exercise, publishing, podcasts, and, of course, goals! Revisiting that is a good place to start because when a whole month goes by in a blink (and…

Welcome to the pre month end catch-all January wrap-up. In today’s “episode” I’ll be talking about books and not-books, podcasts, TV shows, food, publishing, and the premature results of my January goals. Whoa.. really?! Yeah… maybe.

2017-10-09 Another Look at a Familiar Book
Over a year ago I was given a book called “Madness, Rack, and Honey”. It’s a collection of lectures from a famous poet who now teaches for an MFA program at Vermont College, Mary Ruefle’s. I started reading the book and then stopped. I then dumped the guy who gave it to me. In return,…

2017-06-08 On Books and Reading
I’ve started reading a new book. Something that I picked up in Denver from Lance. It’s called “Love and Garbage” and was written by Ivan Klima. I cracked it open last Sunday when I took the kids to the pool and am really not that far into it, but already I am reminded how much…
