I am spending Sunday morning in @SkylarkBookshop while #puppyyoga is going on among the books and I can't help feeling that somewhere along the way I must have managed to do something right.
It's not been a great week for the legal profession (see: indictments) but this article restores the balance somewhat. It's a bit of a heavy read in places but worth the slog.

One of my favorite moments (among many!) at this year's @UnboundBookFest was moderating the #amazonsucks discussion with @MisterCaine and being able to call on (I think) every questioner by name. #community #becauselocal

I love digital media but sometimes you just can’t beat old-fashioned paper and ink. instagram.com/p/CqddKEPOPI-/…
I mean, I haven't one song remotely as good as the original. It's like I'm listening to a pretentious cover band. #U2
