I was 5 when she went down. The next summer i sat in backseat of a green subaru while my family drove across canada, and there was only one thing on the radio the whole month.

Buried deep inside the new, depressing biography of Robert McNamara I found my #sundaysentence for this week, a quote from the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas: "If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

I have a little bit of @leeupton.bsky.social hanging around my house, in this collaboration she did with the late, great artist Ed Kerns. One of my favorite pieces of art.

I think you’d love the book. And yeah that’s my favorite mug; don’t know what that says about me.

Good lord. "Enough with Tigers and Owls; We Dig Deep to Find Jon's Animal Axe to Grind." ps, @jonathanslaght.com I had a dream last night where your dad randomly appeared and handed me a pina collada. My mind is still struggling to process this.

New novel from @ambersparks.bsky.social is just so good. I held it to be my Halloween read. I'm about halfway through this morning and can't put it down. Fern & Alice are kind of a minor miracle. Anyway, my #sundaysentence this week: "The misery of the dead attracts more dead."
