Opening day, LET’S DO THIS!

Eleven days until Colossus Books opens.

I’M OPENING MY OWN BOOKSTORE!

Happy No Kings Day to all who celebrate.

I thoroughly endorse this.

Oh automated sticker system, you never fail to make me laugh.

I swiped the wrong way on a woman who loves folk art and jazz. I feel your pain. I still wonder what might’ve been.

Man, I wish Richard Buckner would release another album.

Good day at the bookstore and the greenhouse.

I finally finished the 750 page biography of Sonny Rollins. I think it says something about the subject when their biography is that long. His life was like a god jazz piece. Twisting and turning, the highs and lows, hitting the planned parts and improvising fearlessly between them.

Stephen Miller gives big Niles Crane vibes.

Two suspicious ANTIFA members have already been arrested in Portland.

I bought this when I was a 19 yo college drop out and working at KFC. This was a needed salve and it definitely got me through a tough time.

Trump is about to find out why, in the eighties, one of George HW Bush’s assistants called Portland “little Beirut”.

Adventures in small town Iowa journalism:
Oh yeah, that’s a good one. I mean, it’s funny on so many levels. The jokes, they tell themselves.

Just look at this filthy hipster with his new glasses.

There will always be a special place in my heart for LFK.

I never considered myself a squeamish reader until I read this story of Joseph Lister and his crusade to introduce hygienic practices in the mid-1800’s. Don’t get me wrong. Fascinating story and Lindsey Fitzharris is an expert storyteller but yeeesh.

This book had me gazing out the window for most the morning. It was so human and compassionate, with humor deeply woven into the fabric of the narrative. Just amazing.

No joke

“It’s got a funky beat and I can bug out to it.”

Shopping for glasses online is so confusing and overwhelming.

I’m Herringbone Van Zandt and welcome to Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.

Sean Yates shares the story of his life in bike racing. I ate this book up.

“All part of life’s rich pageant.”

Five stars all the way. Hard Rain Falling follows Jack, an ex con trying to find the straight path in the fifties. The route is never clear and the distractions are endless. Dostoyevskyian, bleak, raw, and absolutely beautiful. This is going stay with me for a long while.

He’s playing the long game. Tell people the news outlets and the media are the enemy and there will be less pushback when he starts prosecuting journalists and shutting down media outlets.

Emily ✌🏻️ (@missbicks) on Threads Stephen Flynn, the Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeen South, said he couldn’t meet with Trump today because he was busy washing his hair. Ya’ll. This is Stephen Flynn. 😂👏🏻

Weirdo Frontiersman is still one of my all time faves.
