Charles Portis coverage alert! @cncep for The New Yorker. Omits mention of the argument in The Dog of the South about who invented the clamp (Dr. Wooten, or the Sumerians?) but otherwise an excellent piece! newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Happy to see HAWK RISING, written by @Gianferrari_M and illustrated by me, in good company in this collection of Earth Day titles. Thank you, Kris Coronado!

I'm happy to see FIVE TRUCKS on this list and in good company! Simon Kids bookriot.com/childrens-book…

I'm looking forward to being in good company and being part of #independentbookstoreday tomorrow, Saturday, April 29, at Books of Wonder in New York! I'll be at the store from 11:00-12:00. Come say hello! Details, details at this link: booksofwonder.com/blogs/upcoming…

Signing in the rain, I’m signing in the rain, for #IndependentBookstoreDay at Books of Wonder, 11-12 today!

What a confusion and bottleneck these MetroCard machines make for people trying to hurry their way to John F. Kennedy Airport via the AirTrain. And those are the machines that are working! There’s got to be a better way, Port Authority of NY & NJ.

Tomorrow, Sat. 5/13/23, 11:00, I’ll be at Books Are Magic Montague St., Brooklyn, for a space-themed storytime. Molly Webster will read from Little Black Hole, and I’ll read from Moonshot. (An excerpt? Probably. It’s a long book!) I hope to see some of you there! Simon Kids

And you made mine! Thanks for the great drawing demonstration and happy reading!

Compliments to whoever dropped Rita Pavone’s "Datemi un Martello" onto the Venice party playlist in @Netflix's #Ripley. If Tom had been listening closely we would have seen him flinch! Datemi un martello Che cosa ne vuoi fare? Lo voglio dare in testa A chi non mi va, sì, sì, sì
