“Dispatches from the Sacred Grocery” is about finding something sacred in the ordinary, from neon lights and freezer doors to the quiet space between errands.
If it lands, share it.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.

Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

This was a Superbowl ad.

And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Everything in my bones is saying hunker down and hold on. It’s about to get wild.

There’s a silent coup happening right in front of our faces and too many are being willfully ignorant or not paying attention at all.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

This is the worst book I’ve ever read and you should read it. These stories echo current life & twisted into plausible horror.
Amber’s Son, It Was Just Another Day in America, & The Termination Bureau were a solid knee to ribs.
It’s a gross reminder of what happens when all humanity is gone.

It’s not often a short story elicits a true emotional response but “A Million Times Over Again” in the book “A Crumbling of a Nation and Other Short Stories” had me in tears (in a good way). I’ll likely blaze through this book before the end of the week. #books #reading #shortstories #booksky

I was dead serious when I said I was beginning to work on writing a book. I’m rereading “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” to refresh my memory on the great monomyth and the hero’s journey.
A book being read and annotated with a mimosa.

Back from a short social media hiatus. Sometimes you just need to sign out and get your head around what’s important.
