TL;DR - I liked today.
Finishing off the day sipping some Booker’s bourbon – representing today’s successful book signing – in my “value of time“ glass that I got in Porto a few years ago.

Penn Badgeley does a pretty darn good job as Jeff Buckley in “Greetings from Tim Buckley.”
I also do not think that this movie, despite what I’ve read by others, is a biopic. (But I’d be down for one about Jeff for sure.)

I spent over 10 years working at Costco, and one lesson from that time still shapes how I work and live today. It came straight from Jim Sinegal — and it’s as relevant now as ever.
