Imagine dismissing, or worse yet slandering, Willie Nelson. Your Texas and country bonafides are suspect.

She didn’t say this about my book, but she might if she’d read it. (It’s Virginia Woolf talking about James Joyce’s ULYSSES). Happy Friday all you seasick sailors.

That's not a quote about my book. It's Jim Harrison using a Whitman line to talk about Larry McMurtry's All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers. But good writers did say good things about my book. See for yourself? Happy Friday, y'all. a.co/d/0ccRKCTg

WORK from @budsmith.bsky.social has been one of my favorite books since I first read it in 2017. Looking forward to reading the reissue with added material from Perfect Day Publishing. Look for my review on @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social soon.

So the boys got into charcuterie boards this summer with meats and cheeses and crackers and olives. Now they’re designing their own and it’s really devolved.
