@lindaniehoff Holy smokes, you have a bunch of published books and stories! How can I buy one that ensures you get most of the profit?

“I would be a great soccer player if I was just better at it.” — me, quiet wisdom uttered and inspired in the peaceful aftermath of a Biden victory announcement. #yeswecan

@tomcolicchio @PadmaLakshmi love #topchef. Please consider helping chefs COVID affected by making #topchef18 a season of redemption collecting a group of great chefs who have lost their jobs/restaurants because of the economic collapse. Thanks for your advocacy and voices

@TimGraves76 Thanks Tim. Hope Laz is doing well and getting lots of pets and scratches during this shitty year. Take care of yourself and say hello to everyone for me

Rest In Peace, June. You were the sweetest cat I have known. All you wanted was pets, belly scratches, a spot on the bed, and to play fetch with Q-tips. You will always live in my heart, Boomper.

@KCStar @adibkhorram I enjoyed the first book and will certainly purchase the second from one of the local bookstores in town. #supportLocalArtists #supportSmallBusiness #supportBookstores

Enjoying a quiet Monday night after a long weekend. Hear a crash on the porch. Open the door to investigate and Seamus my cat runs in. I don’t realize until it’s too late that he has a mouse in his mouth. He drops it. My cat is adding mice to my home ... worst mouser ever.

I hate fireworks. I loved them as a child, but now embrace the calm unpunctuated by sulfur. I seek the quiet wind whispering through tall grass in a field far from the sound and fury. A cool night and a quiet sky exploding with stars.

I keep looking at the news for the announcement that all of this is over and we get to start a new normal.

[jack hope @jackhope]

I keep thinking about what to do with my time. Read more books. Write stories. Play my mandolin. Improve my programming skills. Ride my mountain bike. Get a tattoo with my daughter’s name spelled out in binary. Draw. Travel in a camper. Photograph stars.

While lying in bed, I saw a firefly lighting around our bedroom. Thought I was hallucinating. Carefully took it outside because it felt good to help. Safe and good travels to you, firefly.

@bobvarsha stay safe and strong Bob. Started listening to you in 1991, you helped build the foundation for my love of motor sports. Hope nothing but the best and can’t wait to hear your next race commentary.

Hey @kkfi901fm can you play some Pat Metheny Group? #LyleMays passed away today. Sad news for all jazz fans

[jack hope @jackhope]

@jonniecommon Could we get Jack Black to play Robert Fripp? Maybe Jim Carrey for David Byrne? Just throwing out ideas

Hey @Boulevard_Beer I see that you brought Grainstorm back temporarily. First off: THANK YOU. Second: are you selling any Grainstorm merch? Would love ... anything with the Grainstorm label.

@SahibQalam A class act. Highly intelligent. Perhaps the greatest comeback in sports and one of the most inspiring stories in general. An absolute legend that will be missed, and never duplicated. #DankeNiki
