What a beautiful treat of a day to come sit on the White Squirrel patio while we play inside. Craig Paquette and his crew are tonight’s guests at 6. My friends and I hit at 7, as usual. Third Thursdays.

First book sale of the season this afternoon for an early happy hour at the Squirrel! More about anecdote books here:

There we go! Finally!

“Ain’t that America?”

Five left, as far as I can tell…
