Currently reading: Kindred by Octavia E. Butler 📚

Wanted to read again after many many years in preparation for watching the TV adaptation currently on Hulu.

Finished reading: The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records by Ashley Kahn 📚

Cogently written and full of fun facts and connection.

Open to any and all suggestions of things to do in Amsterdam, Berlin, and points driving in between. Also open to any invitation to meet up while there.

I have a project that I need to finish but don’t feel like working on. Trying to resist the urge to work on a project I want to work on but know I can’t finish instead.

“People are like, ‘You can carry so many things in your hands and the same time! It’s so impressive!’ and I’m like, ‘Girls never have pockets. Make me pockets’.”

Good day of travel. Stopped at an Iowa City fave for lunch - The Hamburg Inn No. 2
