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.

I’ve purged a lot of books through the last few moves, sold the rare, or desirable, donated many, galleys to little libraries all over town. This has followed me for years. Eventually, I should learn to crochet.
