Something I just learned about writing a novel is if you grew up going to a place that you end up writing a lot about in the story but hadn’t visited it since before you started writing the book, it’s a very emotional experience to go back for the first time.

For more than a year, I’ve been writing essays about Punk Planet, the miracle of a magazine I worked on for 13 years. All that time I’ve been dreading writing this ending, because the reality is this: Sometimes things end and you never get over it. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Hell yes. It used to be that if you wanted to dye your hair green, you took the train or the bus here, walked up to the second floor, got vibed by the person behind the counter and got a jar of Manic Panic. Now you go to CVS. Deserves landmark status for that alone.

We’re keeping our daughter away from screen time until she’s a little older but I can’t help but feel a little proud of where she ended up when the nanny texted us this pic saying she figured out how to use the tv remote.
