Well done! We share a few books, but not too many. If you're wondering where your other Claire Keegan book is, well, it's on MY bookshelf. Recently read it and will get it back to you!

This is cool! I had to bail after Aristotle the Penguin came back, there's a football game to watch which seems to be a pretty big deal in the midwest, and in the Robins house. I will return, and you sound and look just like you write.

Aw, thanks Wayne. I’m also putting up a one-shot vespers (music for my music friends) that’s also Midwestern and I think one of the most hands-down beautiful songs written in the last 25 years.

You will know them as The Jayhawks.

Up real soon, but gotta bump up my side speaker to get the full juice.

I don’t do pro sports. But a good game is always worth watching.

Thanks for checking it out. I was nervous to do it, but hey, β€œget over it.”

That’s how it is! You seemed nice and natural, though, not nervous.

Such fun to see your home library! It’s an impressively eclectic collection, and very well organised.

I’m also a big fan of Turgenev

Rudin could probably be adapted into a modern screenplay.

For years I wanted to make Guy de Maupassant’s Pierre et Jean into a family thriller (brother against brother against mother against fatherβ€”delightful!) lol.

I watched it while you were live. I left a comment there telling you how impressed I was with the work you’ve done on so many big name titles. Thanks for sharing.

yeah I sorta zipped through it. I’m actually calmer when someone else is running the camera. Not so much fun doing it alone, but hey, what are you gonna do? lol.
