Sound and Fury
I realized something shocking today. We’re on the Saturday before “the most consequential” presidential election of our lives and I haven’t written a single thing about it.

All We Need: The Thanksgiving That Almost Wasn’t
For those that never noticed and those who don’t remember, I have a book out. It’s called All We Need: The Thanksgiving That Almost Wasn’t. It came out last November.
