The #beer of beers currently on tap at Jackson's Corner right now is Boneyard's Suge Knite, an Imperial Stout. Out of necessity & curiosity I recently requested a variation which involves a topper of two shots of chilled espresso. It's proven twice to be a good decision — and has received a special commendation by the Northwest Association of Drinks Meddlers. Yes, give it a try. I call it The Dark Knite. #coffee #experiments #drinks (at Jackson's Corner)

Dear friends! I'm excited to share with you this news: I'm starting a production company. It's going to be called Ghost Village Films. The first official release will be a short video I made for my beautiful friend Karen Eland (@coffeepainter) who does some amazing and inspiring work at @theworkhouse in Bend. We'll be showing it throughout tomorrow night during Last Saturday before it goes online. If you're near, we'd love to see you! Stop by, check out the vid & all of Karen's awesome art. #video #art #film #makerspace #makers #inbend #KarenEland #BeerPainter #GhostVillage

You don't have to do anything. Nothing is required of you in this life. Living Is not a requirement. Everything which must be done can very easily go undone. They will be forgotten, as all civilizations, works of art & beauty, & sacred texts will be forgotten, all in time. Likewise, your job, & your rate of pay. Likewise, the hours of sleep lost in hope for a lover. Likewise, the auto. Likewise, the American dollar. & so: doing is not necessary. No action is necessary. Obligation is a false construct. Need is a non-issue. Once you realize this -- & if you remember it -- you can be freed of your guilt: the guilt of living. Once you have accepted that there is nothing which must be done, you will be finally free to begin your doing.

Living is the trick. Writers who write interstingly tend to be men and women who keep themselves interested. That's almost the whole point of becoming a writer. :: {this is a quote from William Zinsser.}

They boast and chatter and pretend that they are a great people about to do great affairs in the jungle, but the falling of a nut turns their minds to laughter and all is forgotten. We of the jungle have no dealings with them. :: {these are Baloo's wise warnings of the dangers of the Bandar-log, the Monkey-People.}

{this gives me hope.}
