@smokelong.bsky.social Summer/Fitness is a fun community; a useful tool to generate new work; a downright phenomenon! But did you know if you join, you can also participate in their book club? Crazy, right? They'll feature my book (at a 25% discount) in late January, so there's plenty of time. (1/2)

I've never felt so viscerally that old saw, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." Thinking of the custom of seeing the day's activities and decisions as an example for what the next year will look like. Soundtrack: Early Bill Monroe and bluegrass origins tunes.

Mood: Angelica Huston in a submarine at the bottom of the sea, looking out from a porthole and taking a sad drag from a cigarette. #thelifeaquatic I read a poem today that made me think of this indelible image.
