Love my wife, my kids, and my motorcycle! I'm in business resilience and continuity if you have questions. Also, into gardens and woodworking. Still holding out for a farm.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Why support indie bookstores? 👉 shopping local = most of your $ stays local 👉 staffed by actual humans who understand books (no AI/algorithms here!) 👉 hubs for community 👉 independent = not run by billionaires 👉 freedom to read = a pillar of democracy

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Got a quick video of Mama Bluebird "sitting on the porch" of her new digs on our deck for a few seconds. There's 2-3 eggs inside! 🦉🐦

We have a couple of orchids that are just showing off in our bathroom. This is at least their 2nd blooming since we got them! 🌱

Had a few friends stop by while working on expanding my flower garden. I couldn't get the full group, but also had a red-winged blackbird, a couple more blue jays, a slew of cardinals, some chickadees, and a couple more woodpeckers. And i can't forget the Canadian geese!🦉🌱

Bluebird family update. This is the pair, with the birdhouse they are moving into. The 2nd pic is mama trying to get into our house (as they've been doing most of the day). 3rd pic is papa just hanging out. All taken from our living room window. 🦉

Well, I love birds, and especially bluebirds, but I have one right now trying to break into my house to build a nest in our chandelier! Hopefully, it's the Bluebird of Happiness! 🦉

These two have been my gardening companions for the last few days. They've hung out every spring and fall in our backyard for a couple of years now.🦉🌱
