That picture of you, with We Are The World hovering nearby, is classic! Thank you for introducing me to the work of one-time Northampton resident Augusten Burroughs, Chad Kultgen, and of course, Anthony Bourdain. What a brilliant writer and thinker. I love The Record Collection story. You pack so many memories, bitter and sweet, and images into that brilliant short story. I love that it was chosen for the "Home" exhibit. Nicely done!! Good Thursday!

It’s a total classic picture!! And you’re welcome! (Though you’ve introduced me to many more writers for which I’m grateful!) And thank you! Looking forward to a good Thursday evening virtually with the Forbes Library! 😎

Ha, I remember this photo. Your photograph memory was already kicking in to help with organizing the albums.

Congratulations on being selected to read your piece for the HOME Visual event at Northampton Forbes Library this evening. 👏

A few of my favorite authors: Stephen King // Anne Rice // Alice Hoffman // and, still love reading my Vegan cookbooks. 🌻💚🌻💚

Grateful to you for recommending everything Anthony Bourdain had to offer. 🍷 🥗
