Part-time ephemera and book dealer. Full-time cat-dad. Omniphile sad that I won't live long enough to learn everything.
I'm about to hit the rack. I will set a reminder to reach out to you tomorrow.

There are copies on abebooks dot comm. Cheapest, without dust jacket, is around $50 from a reputable dealer in D.C. They don't give you extensive photos on that site, but it should certainly be good enough as a reading copy. If that doesn't work for you, I'll keep looking.

I will keep it on my search list. I hope I'm the one who finds it. I love connecting people with old friends.

Well, sometimes I'm more of a silly book dealer, but yes. I'm not big time, but I sell my share. I tend toward niches. Right now I'm really loaded with typography books. I don't limit myself though. I find a lot of different stuff interesting.

I was describing the game of Euchre to someone the other day and I had trouble saying "trump" without grimacing. Ended up calling it "top suit". His name is a curse that taints everything it touches.

That is lovely work. Also, it's funny how tangential our minds are. Your mention of the Cathedral in Winchester made me go listen to Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Cathedral". It's been too long. Thank you for that.

Thank you for the info and encouragement. I will be shopping this weekend!

Thank you! 61 years old. Never played an instrument. Was thinking of taking up bass this year. I'll take this as a sign that I should go for it.

(Honestly, I was looking really hard for a sign. I was gonna find it regardless. You just made it easy for me. Again, thank you!)

Not overly festive but it's literally in the name.

Thank you for understanding that a request for information is not an attack on anyone. That's what separates us from the cult.

Thank you for all this information.

Not to be a skeptic, but it's kinda necessary these days.

Is there a source for this? This could be a low-effort, high-gain boost for Lyft. Also, is it one of those cases where everyone gives money to all politicians across the board because, you know, that's business in America?

I love it when someone I have known or followed for a while turns out to be LBGTQ+ and I find out organically. I think, "I didn't know they were gay. Cool!" I say cool because it's a completely irrelevant piece of information in most contexts. It changes nothing.

It's getting harder to tell the difference between insanity and just plain old awareness. These days I have more in common with the guy wandering the streets muttering than I do with anyone in the medical establishment who decides what "sane" is.

Well, we're pretty cool until you get to know us. Then we're still pretty cool but a lot of damn work, and who has time for that when you're trying to fix your own head.

Just did and realky dug it. I knew I would. I love Dave Alvin.

Did some digging and it seems they co-wrote it and it's only from 2001. I thought it was farther back. Time is funny once it gets behind you.

I heard it a million years ago and somehow lost it in the past. The Challenge brought it back. Glad I could share it.

Now, I'm going to go listen to the Dave Alvin version, thank you very much.
