I'm sitting at home with a coffee listening to Miles Davis writing about my favourite books of the year for my weekly column in a national newspaper.

Somewhere, somewhen, teenage me is *so* jealous right now.

I shouldn't ever lose sight of that.

Miles Davis…💕🎺👐

jhenry922.bsky.social•77 days ago

Fun fact. According to Harper's Bazaar, Miles Davis used the word motherfucker in his autobiography 666 times

lisa-catara.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yessssssssssssss.
We had similar Sundays.
☕️🎶
It was Miles and Ella. I was penning my blog.

And thanks to all of the smart arses noting the missing comma in the above.

It's doubly ironic given that I was taking a break from writing an actual column at the time.

One with, some say, too many commas in it.

Miles Davis is writing about your favorite book?

This makes me want to google you. Yes, I know, it sounds kinda bad to say it like that, but hear me out:

The upside to that is you captured my attention with this brief introduction.

😘

Meanwhile the teen on #SocialMedia :

I narrate audiobooks for a living, and this sentence just made me realize I feel the same way. Thanks for the insight.

Love that, gotta count your blessings sometimes and think how happy little you would be it’s a good way to not lose perspective and stay grateful. What Miles Davis were you listening to? 😁

rickoshea.bsky.social•77 days ago

'Round About Midnight, I think...

wotdabney.bsky.social•77 days ago

Boy, commas would've prevented me just now thinking Miles was writing something new...Was going to ask for your address.

keithinkrakow.bsky.social•77 days ago

But your teenage self can get out of a chair silently :-(

rickoshea.bsky.social•77 days ago

Look, I'm not saying it's all positives.

To be fair, that guy spent a lot of time not bothering to get out of chairs.

“Living the dream”!
Enjoy your wordsmithing!

blitheawesome.bsky.social•77 days ago

I hope your teenage you is proud of you & gives you a big hug.

philipoconnor.bsky.social•77 days ago

A charmed life indeed, but give yourself credit too - you're a talented, compassionate man who worked hard to get to where you are, and you deserve it. ;)

philipoconnor.bsky.social•77 days ago

Also - I fell down the Miles Davis rabbit-hole properly this year and HOLY SH*T have things looked different ever since ...

rickoshea.bsky.social•77 days ago

You never really come back from it...
