Is your child a far left extremist?

Just because I can, and because the T.Rump family of grifters will never look this classy or happy together.

Well, that's a wrap. I finished my 60th book for 2025, Elijah Wald's "Dylan Goes Electric!" I was lucky enough to be in the room when Wald discussed the book at the 92nd Street Y, in New York City in June, 2016. Here's to another year of #books in 2026. #booksky

I started reading 'The Story of Charlotte's Web' by Michael Sims, then stopped part way through to read E.B. White's classic (a book I had not read for many, many years), before continuing with the Sims book. It was lovely to reacquaint myself with Fern, Wilbur, and of course Charlotte. #booksky

Thanks for sharing. I discovered Aldo Leonard after reading Isabella Tree's wonderful 2019 book, 'Wilding', which recounts her family's struggle to turn Knepp, a failing British farm into a semi-wilderness area. I highly recommend a closer look at the property's website knepp.co.uk

A peek inside my Christmas bookbox. Every year I take a box of books that I have read to our family gathering and let people choose what they want. This is what it have put together so far. #booksky #regifting

I don't usually do Halloween, but my niece wanted to see Eraserhead on the big screen, so we headed to our local cinema to take a peek inside David Lynch's head. In 70 years of film viewing, I have never seen anything as weird as #Eraserhead! #filmsky #DavidLynch
