    What are You Reading Now?

    Searching for and maintaining peace is a great book. Short and very accessible, but deeply impactful.

    What's your favorite painting?

    Rothko is a perennial favorite of mine. His works are always in my short list for favorite paintings.

    What are You Reading Now?

    It's a great book, a couple decade ago it was a daily read for me, and also helped me get through a difficult time. Not sure how many times I read through it. I should probably read it again.

    What's your favorite painting?

    It's almost impossible to pick a single favorite, but I've been pretty obsessed with Whistler's nocturnes for the past 15 years, and would probably consider them my favorites. Here is a sampling

    What are You Reading Now?

    Pipestud is Begging For Help Again!

    Googling around I found a guy named Justin Poulin who makes glass weed pipes, maybe he tried his hand on briar? Couldn't find much on him though, probably a false lead.

    Any Homestar Runner fans out there?

    I haven't revisited it since (except for showing the kiddos trogdor), but I loved it in my college years. I still randomly quote it all the time.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Ha, it's funny how different things work for different people. The footnotes and endnotes were my favorite part of the book. Also, maybe coincidentally or maybe not, I really don't like Pynchon.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    My Father La Duena Petite Lancero on a beautiful morning, really nice flavor. I had a Don Pepin earlier this week that burned terribly, and knowing these were from the same company I was a bit worried I would have a repeat. But this thing had about the best burn of any cigar I've had. It burned...
