An impromptu stop at Real Union today — the historic Spanish club owned by Unai Emery and his family. Gracious to Igor Emery for taking the time to let us on the grounds and to speak to us about the team. Beautiful backdrop for a stadium in the Basque Country.

Healthy soil, folks! Basil is thriving!

Jim Jarmusch, Ron Padgett and Tony Towle at the David Shapiro memorial tribute earlier at Poets House. A fine night!

Mind was out West this year. Tons of McMurtry in my 2024 reading list (47 books in total). Lonesome Dove probably the best book I’ve ever read.
