Just started Dave Eggers “The Monk of Mokha.” The first few chapters have been really quick moving and interesting. Great storytelling. Looking forward to more. — A friend gave it to me as a thank for a breakfast group I helped start earlier this year, which he […] [Original post on social.lol]

Finished Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel yesterday. I liked it. It started out slow but finally picked up mid-way. Very unlike her other books. Weird but good. She’s clearly experimenting with something new here and I’m here for it. #exitparty #emilystjohnmandel

Checked off a bucket list item this weekend: Saw QuestLove DJ in Greensboro. It was an amazing experience. A musical genius who kept the crowd engaged for over two hours - though truth be told I left after about little more than an hour because it was 12 […] [Original post on theforkiverse.com]

Reading the book “The Amazing Generation” with my 14 yr old son and we’re both enjoying it and having some good conversations because of it. The book is well done, interesting, and gets the point across in a creative way.

The cover of a book called The Amazing Generation: your guide to fun and freedom in a screen-filled world in big yellow lettering with cartoon characters on the front signaling that this is a graphic novel, the book is by Jonathan Haidt and Katherine Price.

Saw Bill Callahan last night at the Haw River Ballroom. He called the audience “delightful” but really he was the one who was delightful. The music was great and way more rock n roll than I expected. Legendary drummer Jim White really took the entire show up a few notches.

I had a lovely morning running our coffee stand at the local farmer’s market with my daughter. She’s been helping run the coffee operation for 8 years now and it’s always a good time. Today was particularly lovely outside and busy! #fireweedcoffeeco

This is an image of a coffee stand at a farmers market. At the center of the Image are two people, one a middle aged male and the other a teenage girl (father and daughter), standing next to each other under a tent/canopy. Around them are bags of coffee and a coffee carafe with flavored syrups and cars parked in the background.
