When in God’s Country…

I confess: I am not into fiction and have been struggling to find something I enjoy. I started a novel today, and am 12 pages in and I’ve never been so captivated—in heart and mind—by a story so soon. Like, your boy almost shed a tear sitting in this coffee shop. 😅

Nothing like a slow Saturday morning catching up on Abbott Elementary, a show that lifts my spirit and makes me laugh.

Update:

First snow of the winter in Chicago…Will this Texan ever get used to this? 🙃

Early morning essentials. Excited to start @malcolmbfoley.bsky.social’s forthcoming work. Timely and necessary. Meticulously crafted, deeply compelling, and rich with insight. A significant contribution to a conversation we can’t afford to ignore. Review forthcoming.

Coffee and a book. Best way to start a gloomy morning in Chicago.
