Career bookseller, that guy with the loud shirt from Cody’s, when it was. I’ve left Threads and the Twitterverse, so life is a little simpler these days. I firmly believe life should have a soundtrack.

1- I would break the China. 2- The Mrs would love a muu-muu, if the colors were right. 3- That gong would lead to divorce.

On a hot afternoon, you might find me out here snacking with a soda and some cookies al Fresca.

Me, too. My shins hate the coffee table.

Once again, matching your art to the throw pillows. Buy great art, that appeals to your soul, then decorate.

Me, silently, a galley of Fonseca, Jessica Bell, PRH, Aug. Out loud to the Mrs at bedtime, Rise & Devine, Laura Harper.

My coping mechanism during a period when the store owner’s wife was doing events and stirring the pot was, when it was particularly bad, to run out at lunch and get a piercing. Ran out of ears just before the divorce.

If I rearrange those pieces, and do a little extra carving, I could come up with a nice Cinderella’s carriage for a birthday party surprise treat! The nieces will be so pleased!

Are those loose leaf sausages in your tea, or convenient sausage-bag style? Since here in the States, we heat our water with a microwave, we prefer sausage bags, but if there’s a real difference I could be convinced to switch to a kettle, and loose sausage.

It’s shocking how fast the Mrs & I go through gochujang. Of course, we treat it like garlic, in that “1 clove” must be a misprint. Either the 1 is wrong, or they meant “head”. Either way, round up.

Good bad or bad bad? Big difference in mood.

The question is, how can I monetize it, with little to no effort, and using only my favorite fringe sports, curling and athletics?

Syrup makes the second best bookmark. Ask any librarian.

AI keeps me on my feet, keeps me aware of what can be thrown at me, and lets me create beyond my abilities. My typewriter keeps me grounded, is tactile, and makes me think at real time. Real world balance.

Congratulations! We always said at the Information Desk, that nothing sold a book at Cody’s like NPR.

Sorry, still working on my Muppet casting for Pride & Prejudice, and Casablanca. A couple of sticky characters in both, so Conclave will have to wait.

I would break my ankle getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Otherwise, love it.

Your wire hanger has shifted, move it a little to the left. No, more. More. Wait, back a little!

I finally gave up on emails. I’d pick up the phone and call customer service, even if I knew I would be setting an alarm and cooking breakfast with the phone in my ear. Time zone madness, but dammit, put me out of my misery.

Brutal. Doors, for sure. One of the 3 Simon & Garfunkles, then either the Hendrix (a double, bargain!), or Cash at San Quentin. Probably, sign up twice, under my little sister’s name.

Lemme’ guess- Big feet, this particular shoe no longer in production, the search for comfort must begin again.

A series favorite! Or- Seriously, a favorite, since serious has nothing to do with it.

Glad you’ll be in OR this week, although I wish it were the Burnside location (which I can get to) and not Beaverton (which I can’t.) sign some extra, for consolation prizes, and a nearby wave as you swing by.

English is a wonderful language. I don’t understand it, but being a native speaker, I’m not expected to.

Yes, accessories. I’ll take the painting, if looting is open to all. According to Dr Meta, "Mechanical Personnages," by Judith Rothschild, 1946.

The worst part about replying to this post was now I have BOTH the White Album and Men in Black stuck in my brain. Can you ear worm a movie? Eye worm? Grrr. Congrats on the vinyl, though. Had to sell mine for a move.

Looks like I’m going to have to buy the White Album again.
