Your boy is at New York Comic Con signing signing books! The Devil in Silver, specifically but if you’ve got something else I’ll sign that, too. If you’re here, I get going from 5:30-6:15 at the Penguin Random House booth.

Louise Erdrich is so good, it’s easy to take for granted how good she is. By which I mean great, of course.

The cover of Louise Erdrich’s book of stories, Python’s Kids. The cover shows the book’s title and the author’s name in green ink. A gold and blue python-like design flows over a black background.

A small gnome figurine sits on a desktop, reading a book of its own.

To prove the beef is good, Trump agrees to eat a plate for the cameras.

A scene from the Simpsons. Mr. Burns, a balding old white Nan in a suit and tie, sits at a dinner table with Bart Simpson and Marge Simpson watching. A three eyed fish, an irradiated mutant fished from waters contaminated by Mr Burns’ nuclear plant, has been served to him on a plate.

Been watching Twin Peaks with out 15 year old. We just reached Season two, episode seven. The show still hits hard, both for him and for me, especially this one.

A white horse stands in a suburban living room. A lamp is on. The curtains of the room are drawn. The atmosphere is eerie. The name of the store appears in neon green letters, TWIN PEAKS. The name of the episode floats beneath that, “Lonely Souls.”

Every now and then I have a chilling flash of what life in NYC would be like if Andrew Cuomo won the mayoral race. That’s at least one cursed timeline I am so grateful we missed. (As we live through pretty much all the others.)

In Los Angeles for a conference (Televerse). Treated myself to dinner and a cocktail and I’m feeling quite grateful for good things I get to enjoy.

A photo of a cocktail glass, bourbon based, with an ice cube that’s branded with the name of the restaurant, Sendero. A yellow cup also sits on the table.

The view of Los Angeles from a restaurant. The high rises of downtown LA are in the foreground and the mountains rise in the distance.

On the dinner table there’s a bottle of Pelligrino, a yellow mug, a plate of limes, a cocktail and the pages of a book, The Weird and the Eerie by Mark Fisher. You can’t see the title in the photo.

Cleaning out some boxes & found an envelope of very old story ideas. After reading through, I tossed them all in the garbage. It felt freeing. Some ideas turn stale. As long as you stay interested in the world, you’ll find new ones. I don’t have faith in much, but I do have faith in that.
