Happy pub day to Jack Stewart and Chad Robichaux! 🎉

The latest in their Silent Horizons series, Riptide, is out today, and it’s fantastic! They took everything great from the first book and amped it to 11. Get this one, thriller readers! 📚

In case you’re wondering if boys ever really grow up, they’re building new sport courts at our office campus, it’s happening right outside my window, and I’d much rather watch the excavator dig and remove dirt than stare at my computer screens for work.

Taking a break from my usual fare to remedy my never having read this classic.

It was a great mail day.

This was the first White Heart album I ever bought. It was also the first cassette I ever recall seeing that wasn’t white, clear, or smoked translucent.

Today’s @halfpricebooks find: large paperback edition of @wardlarsen’s first David Slaton book. Perfect for the re-read I have planned. (It’s been a long while.)

Last night was another great show by @TheDollyrots! If you ever get the chance to see them, I highly recommend it. Just a fun pop-punk show.

My niece-by-choice Tori put her considerable art skills to work with a drawing she did of Kelly and Luis, which they both loved. And have you ever been chased down by the lead singer of a band to sign her jacket? Tori has.

This band’s appreciation of its fans continues to amaze me. Go see them!

Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho! We’re heading out to @TheDollyrots punk rock show!

These seats will do.
