Had so much fun with @porchtn (Nashville’s nonprofit writing org), at their annual Heatbreaker’s Happy Hour. Great readings and wonderful people.

They all have to be on the heated blanket.

I drove behind this person for a long time today, and really feel we should be friends, based on their bumper stickers:

-I’m doing my best
-resist, persist, repeat
-I will not tolerate your bullshit, but I wish you peace
-We’re gonna be okay, buddy

If you know them, tell them they have a fan.

I couldn’t gamble his life against a rumor. What if I brushed it off only to find it was true? This made me think of all the what-ifs haunting every victim’s family.

Colm Toibin’s follow-up to his novel, Brooklyn is immersive. Annnnd, Jessie Buckley, one of my favorite actors narrates the audiobook.

I was a little afraid this would be a bro movie, but it’s the direct opposite. Loved it. ⭐️

We started watching Detectorists last night. Nerdy, eccentric, dry British humor with a ton of heart. Highly recommend this for a pick me up.

My latest read, which I’ve really enjoyed. What are your favorite family sagas? The more eccentric the better…

Time for a viewing of my favorite dysfunctional family film of all time. Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr. at their best.
