Hmmm, that title sounds familiar!

Proof that the universe does have a sense of humor. During the fierce storm that struck Eastern Long Island at 9 p.m. July 4, a tree fell on this porta-potty. Happily no one was inside at the time!

Spotted, lodged in a tree trunk in Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side of Manhattan:

I'll be speaking today in Yakima, WA, at the Capitol Theater. My hosts last night at the lovely Freehand Cellars Winery made some excellent cookies....

Hope to see some of you this month. The paperback of my "Demon of Unrest" launches next week, and I'll be doing a number of book events in various parts of the country.

My wife captured this image of a gust of wind stirring the newly snow-dressed trees outside our NYC apartment just a few moments ago.

Trump was right. New York City is a hellscape of criminal savagery. (Spotted today at Lexington Ave and E. 107th.)

At last one of my books has made it to the big-ish screen! (Ethan Hawke in "The Lowdown;" see shelf behind.)

Just arrived at Union Station in Washington, DC. Troops on patrol in one of the safest spots in the city. At least they’re not wearing masks. Must be incredibly boring: aimlessly walking streets already patrolled by multiple federal police agencies, Amtrak police, and the DC metro cops.

Going to DC on Friday. Never been to an occupied city. I feel like William Shirer:

So often in my research I come across tiny little mysteries that have zero relevance to what I'm working on, but are compelling nonetheless. Eg this, from the London Times, Sept. 5, 1871.

Hard to believe that a year ago today I was halfway through my book tour for "Demon of Unrest." What a tour. So many incredible interviewers and audiences. One high point: When my middle daughter did the on-stage interview in Dallas and, five minutes in, asked, "Dad, who's your favorite daughter?"

DC is already digging up the Black Lives Matter street mural, under duress. Photo is from this morning. The Great Capitulation continues.

Almost-New Year greetings! I'd like you to meet my newest desk toys: two motorized cockroaches. Crowd pleasers always!
