In 1980 I stumbled across a game called Aces of Aces, a game of World War 1 dogfighting, designed by Al Leonardi. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. It was simply two books, one for the German player, and one for the Allies. Each had about 250 pages, the bulk of which were dedicated to views outside of your cockpit. Aces of Aces was a huge staple of my teen years.

I aspire to one day create a sustainable, small home that celebrates the outdoors just a bit more than the indoors. In this home tour, I particularly love Juliette’s indoor umbrella above the dining area as well as her use of natural materials throughout the home, especially in the kitchen. These towels in blue would be so pretty poolside…or these vibrant striped ones. My friend Matt sent me this link of an in person or online shoe making school in Brooklyn.

It’s the first day Tai is back in New York after a month on the west coast and I’m catching up with her at Seward Park a few hours before we plan to see “The Monsters of Alt Lit” do a reading at the new VC-backed Dimes Square event space called Sovereign House. I can’t think of a better way to welcome her back to the Big Apple. She hasn’t really missed much scene drama in the past month.

At a key point in Paul’s letter to the Romans, after Paul has been wrestling with the Jewish rejection of Jesus and the Gentile acceptance of him, warning Gentiles not to look down on the Jews as if they’ve been voted off redemptive-history island, Paul then turns to the topic of Israel in the future, and his claim is that in the end “all Israel will be saved” (Rom 11:26).

These are the first editions published with my real name on the cover rather than the David Wong pseudonym (more on that here). Below I've detailed exactly what is in each, with handy order links: "Zoey Ashe surveyed the carnage and said, 'Sorry we’re late, it was my cat’s birthday.

The story of that night became legend long ago, and it’s now a vital part of the holiday’s lore: an outcast turned unlikely hero, doubters turned believers, a potential disaster turned into triumph. How much do we really know about what happened on that “one foggy Christmas Eve”, though? It’s been nearly eight decades, and a few of the key figures involved have passed on. Others remain, though, and for the first time, they’re telling their side of events.

The New York Times recently released a podcast interview with a female lawyer, Ali Diercks, who worked for the Washington law firm, Covington & Burling, that was hired by CBS in the fall of 2018 to investigate sexual misconduct allegations against its then recently-departed CEO, Les Moonves. Podcast Dierck's job was to review pages of CBS emails and other internal communications. She said that she came across documents that showed: 1).

SPOILER ALERT: I briefly quote Razorblade Tears and openly discuss major plot points and events in All The Sinners Bleed, both by S.A. Cosby.  CW ALERT: These books are damn violent, graphically so, and occasionally use the N-word; I don’t censor quoted material.  TL; DR: All The Sinners Bleed by S.A.
