The #awp26 annual conference & book-fair week is finally here! I’ll be reading offsite at the @ChesapeakeShakespeareCompany Thursday evening; at the @Apprentice House Press booth Friday afternoon; & part of a @MindbuckMediaBookPublicity event Friday evening. I’d love it if you came to say Hello.

Beautiful ❄️ this time.

According to Phoebe, this is the correct way to use a scratching post. Who knew?! #catsofbluesky

Stunning presentation at Manor Mill by KAL (Kevin Kallaugher), political cartoonist for The Economist in London and former editorial cartoonist for The Baltimore Sun. What a gift! @kaltoons.bsky.social

It’s two years since this extraordinarily courageous man was killed by the Russian regime. #alexeinavalny

First snow ❄️🤍

In winter especially, your keys are in the wrong pocket 150% of the time. You check the right pocket; not there. You check the left pocket; not there. You check the right pocket again; and they are lurking there after all.

Winter Sun 🤍🩶💛
