This donation campaign will help our beloved L&O continue to meet their goals of serving our community - ALL of it - well into the future.

Friends, if you haven't been to Lark and Owl Booksellers ever or lately, what are you waiting for? You'll become a fan and a patron just like me - and if you seek to support the legacy of local bookselling, please take a moment to check out the link for their GiveButter campaign.

Jane and her team support the local arts and literacy scene, encourage new and veteran writers and poets, make time to serve the community, and have created a place that feels like HOME.

I've been to book signings, author talks, craft nights, and I've had many a lunch or snack or cocktail there. I've met incredible people there, not the least of whom is the indomitable Jane Estes, owner of L&O.

PBS NewsHour is nightly, 7 days a week. One hour on weeknights, 1/2 hour on weekends. It is easily the most in-depth and thoughtful news in the US, though I’m often disappointed that their coverage isn’t as deep as I’ve seen in the past. Been watching it since it was the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour.

That earned you a follow. Well done. :)
