Love the magpie section and story.... so understand that collection of small things. Great photo with the chair on the wall outside the store. I wish you had a photo of you at the festival with the free poetry sign. What an awesome thing to have done!

Thanks. The other side of my sign reads “The Know-it-all. Ask me anything.” I’ve tried that one briefly but haven’t had any takers. Years ago, people would regularly accost me outside The Oregonian’s building and ask questions. It was bizarre. One guy wanted to know what a good brand of olive oil would be.

I love Tabasco and enjoyed the video.

Oh, good. I almost didn’t post it because it was so long and pretty commercial. But I learned a lot from it and I thought maybe my readers would too.
