Good morning and welcome to the 2,057th Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe).
Enjoying seeing all the HeAthens trickle into Athens. I’ll be there Tuesday—save me a stool at Flicker.
Happy Sunday, y’all.

Sorry I’m late...

Agreed. Getting this one for Bandcamp Friday today.

The True Story of Ramón Casiano Drive-By Truckers' "Ramón Casiano" and the necessary power of protest music.

Great write up on a great band and how their political stance is nothing new—if you were paying attention. #Musicsky #HeAthens #Drive-ByTruckers #DBT

Good morning and welcome to the 2,055th Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe).
We made it. Happy Friday, have a good weekend if you get one, safe travels if you’re traveling.
Cheers, y’all.

Good morning and welcome to the 2,054th Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe).
So long, WaPo. Lift a glass and smile for journalism. Hope some semblance of it recovers. We need good writers bearing witness.
Happy Friday eve!

Good morning and welcome to the 2,053rd Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe).
Tuesdays are long: up early, work, teaching class, home late. But the students make me hopeful that we have a chance.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

It’s emotional residue. And it’s a good sign that it doesn’t pop up during the day, but only when you’re asleep and your mind is meandering. You’re down to the crumbs in the carpet: Hard to get out, but they’re inconsequential. Sounds like real healing to me.

Obviously a red-labeled 45, so probably an original pressing of “Like a Rolling Stone.” Or maybe “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down,” who knows?

Good morning, all. A week from today I’ll be en route to St. Louis to fly to Atlanta to shuttle to Athens to collect hugs and smiles. Can’t wait to see those I’ll see.

Guess I should be glad I’ve only heard of one of those folks.

Really enjoyed it. Good people build community and you’re certainly doing that with IHTOV and your own writing. Good stuff.

Good morning, all. Today is the 2,051st Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe). It started on Facebook in March 2020. I don’t think we keep score on Bluesky, but glad you’re here.
Happy Monday and hope everyone has a good week.
Cheers, Y’all.

Fun! I’m just a stepdad, so my answers are probably wrong.

Good morning and welcome to the Royale—the morning’s first cup of coffee (or whatever you choose to imbibe).
In March 2020, my friend @glennraucher.bsky.social began this virtual kaffeeklatsch and it’s still going strong. All are welcome. Cats optional.
Good morning, y’all.

Good morning, all. Enjoying my morning and looking forward to seeing y’all tomorrow.

Acceptance is supposed to bring relief, but it’s really the most painful of all. You really captured that: The character literally trying to outrun the emptiness. There’s a lot in that very short read. Thanks for sharing this.

Love how “she” is spectral and can be any trauma or memory or grief or damaged inner child the reader brings to the story. Well done.

He’s a real Hee Haw Honey.

Good morning from just off I-44 in St. Louis.

Means you’re strong and capable.

That’s certainly is a lovely sport shirt Mr. Curtis.

Good morning, all. Still cold as shite with more to come. Y’all stay safe and warm.

Welp, @effinbirds.com for the win, I guess.

Good morning, all. Happy Wednesday!

Good morning, all. Another cold one, below freezing all day. Hope everyone’s staying safe and warm.
