Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

The project to being my lost novel, KAMIKAZE L’AMOUR, back into print is doing well, but with 2 weeks to go, it could use some help to push it over the top. Please take a look at the project and consider backing it. Thanks!

I watched "liquid sky" for the first time, this week. With the things that make it up, it ought to be a bad movie. But it's really not. It is ridiculous and thoughtful, pretty and sloppy, goofy and dark.

I usually have to have a little distance. I come back in a couple weeks or months and say "hey ... That's pretty damn good"

Ever flown through Dulles outside D.C. and had to take the "mobile lounges"?

I have a problem with life being about anger and hate. I still am angry, because... look around. But my dream would be a life of creating and appreciating, not criticizing and hating.

Headed to the national book festival for the first time. Have wanted to go every year, but always been out of town.

If it's a Methodist Church, does that mean there was a requirement in the sale contract forcing you to continue hosting dish-to-pass suppers?

Flying reminded me that you seldom find a place with more entitled people than the airport. People who MUST get through security. People asleep across a row of benches. People who refuse to check a bag. People blocking gates. Dime-store Kardashians barefoot and zoned out.

Yesterday was 4 airports over 24 hours. Please airport people... Replace the canned messages with locals making the announcements. Nothing made me happier than hearing a Brooklyn accent on the loudspeakers at JFK.

I think I need too stick a travel Chromecast in my suitcase. Hotel television sucks.

Semi-sequeter.... I have never really spent time in Pittsburgh. But every time I drive north through that valley, I love the look and feel. Like some industrial age Rivendale. Jealous of your new home.

Can relate. There's a castle and country in Scotland with my relatively uncommon family name... makes me want to go.

In college it's was a Denny's. Was a very international group, at a time when Denny's was getting a reputation for racism. But they always treated us well.

It's a big, blank, white space that needs words. A new platform, and a new chance to make an impression. The pressure is immense. How about.... I like ice cream.
