Quite very stoked about the new Ocean Beach Park (real name TBD) in progress mere blocks from our house. It's been a blessing since covid and nows it's going to be a real thing.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.

The @sfchronicle.com reviewed my book! Every little piece of this journey is a thrill and I'm glad I'm my age and not in my 20s, when it would have stressed me out. datebook.sfchronicle.com/books/my-mot...

Now that the holiday shopping season is coming to an end, indie bookstores could really really use your help. Your local independent bookstore is a treasure and a crucial part of the neighborhood. And you KNOW you need some good reading during this cold winter season as you digest all that turkey.
