Long time since I knitted (completed)anything. Finally made the Alaska hat, which I’ve been wanting to do since I saw the pattern 4 years ago. Not my neatest work, lol. Have to say, I really didn’t love knitpicks Chroma, won’t be using it again.

Toad went back into the house. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head again.

Man, I love when migrating ducks arrive in Central Park! I spotted this stunning Hooded Merganser lazily floating toward me on the Harlem Meer early this morning. Just incredible! ❤️🧡🖤 #Ducks #CentralPark #birding

It's been overcast the last couple of days, but I did get a good look at a Wood Duck on Central Park's Pool. It was busy chasing Mallards away from his Wood Duck girlfriend! He gave me a quizzical look, too! ❤️💚💙 #Ducks #CentralPark #birding

This morning I came across the bench donated in memory of Janet Reid. What a perfect spot, looking over the Harlem Meer, and you can see the Discovery Center. I know we were on Twitter at the time, but if anyone is here who isn’t local:

As a used bookseller, this is maddening because every damn day I see appetite for strange books, old books, indie books, forgotten books. Readers are there. They love to explore the store & buy things they've never heard of.
Publishing's biggest problem is that they've forgotten how to sell books.

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...
