Watched MEN and liked so much about it -the set up, mood, direction, music- but can’t say I was satisfied with where it all eventually went. The ending was wild, if not immediately understandable, or what I as a viewer wanted. 2 1/2 out of 4 smiling severed heads.🍿

A wonderful story to close your evening with.🍻
In the fall of 2011, I was on a road trip in the south, passing through Gainesville, FL, when I mentioned to my girlfriend at the time that one of my favorite writers, Harry Crews, lived there. She said, “Let’s look him up.” She googled him from her phone and his home address…

Was honored to do a reading for the youth of my tribe and then give the Keynote speech for the annual staff meeting (250 people, my biggest audience yet!). Thanks to my tribe for these awesome invitations!!!

Excellent little read. Surprising, cinematic, incredibly well-drawn. A crew of inmates who fight wildfires get drawn into a heist and it goes wrong. Picked this up from the library and was totally pleased by every page.📚

Spotted at the Co-op. Made me think of my coffee drinking: the teenage years. Could drink it cup after cup endlessly. Couldn’t sleep very well, but that was unrelated.☕️
