📚 I’ve mentioned a couple of times before how 4 of my favorite writers are called John.
That explains my first 4 choices for the @macgenie book week.
The remaining three leave ‘The Johns’ behind but continue to focus on lesser known books either by the author or in their genre.
So much more than the cold war spy stories that he is known for. Explore this one - the attention to detail and story telling just as exciting, but a radically different backdrop.

Yes - it’s a John Irving novel, so bears and wrestling feature in this sprawling narrative that spans the globe and of course, a lifetime.

A question of definition.
I am currently playing ‘Monument 2’. The last game I played was ‘Monument’. Before that … no idea.
Am I a gamer?
The best thing about Rogan moving to Spotty is that he will no longer feature in my recommended podcasts.
FINALLY
If I have a business that mandates mask wearing then if you don’t wear a mask - you don’t get to go in. Including Orange Baboons.
What’s so hard about that?
It’s a ‘Sound’ update!

I don’t really write fiction. At least fiction that sees the light of day ….
The Letter is an exception. Published yesterday on BizCatalyst.
I decided to narrate it in the latest episode of BUNKER-19.
Just in case we forget.

This week’s newsletter just went live.
Coincidentally in the week of Micro Blog Book Recommendations - the sub title plays on Ken Kesey’s greatest book - Sometimes A Great Notion. 📚
It’s not about Ken, or his books - its about a musician and good friend of mine.
Remember the anti vaccine crowd? It got so bad that even Penn and Teller came out with a video to dispel the rumours.
This popped up in my ‘On This Day’ feed - and I started to wonder if all those ‘anti vaxers’ … are the same people now clamoring for a vaccine?
… or should I have chosen East of Eden? Probably - but Grapes of Wrath is a perfect choice for these times.

Such a great, positive, uplifting read - maybe there is hope!
Working towards work-life balance solves the wrong problem really well.
But I realized something else last night …
I had never heard of Frank Ramsey until today - and now I feel as if I have known him all my life.
”Discounting the interests of future people, Ramsey wrote, is “ethically indefensible and arises merely from the weakness of the imagination.”
Frank Ramsey, 1903-1930
Can anyone explain to me why you would use Wix for a website?
… and down goes JCPENNY - another retailer with yet another ‘activist’ investor in the mix.
… these financial boys really know what they’re doing don’t they?
Their mothers must be so proud.
