Weekend coffee #206.

December seems to be speeding by so here we are about halfway through. Holiday parties, birthday parties, the mad dash to get all the work you wanted to complete in before Christmas, etc. Here’s a look at what’s going on:

• An oldie but a goodie from The Paris Review.

• Holy moly do I want to eat this.

• More info on the vinyl boom. I find the dip around 2005 interesting.

• That’s Dr. Tom Petty to you.

• I found most of this year’s top news images…disturbing.

• The Balance Collection from Marika has become my uniform.

• Cookies above were a big hit at the cookie swap I went to this week (I used half the salt).

• Currently reading: Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee

• Currently watching: Anyone want to lend me their HBO Max password?

That’s all for now. Until next time - thanks for following along and enjoy the season.
