If you like fringe science, the supernatural and the strange, all delivered with a nice dose of humor, it is essential listening.
In fact, become an MU Plus subscriber for the extra content. It’s more than the worth the 9 bucks a month. In fact, it’s a bargain. Just saying.
Watch this spare, stunning and wonderfully moving video. I adore books and was blown away by this piece.
Michael Seidenberg’s unwavering commitment to a noble and somewhat dying institution, the bookstore, is heart wrenchingly beautiful.
I hope I get to visit there one day.

Chamblin Bookmine is so very wonderful. A vast labyrinth of old books, amazing literary finds and great staff. A true literary gem in an age of commodified reading, big chain bookstores and the e-book. Glad you’re here in Jax, Chamblin.
What Jacksonville needs to do is become the center of a new cultural renaissance. No politics, no B.S., just people who give a damn coming together to create the kind of city we want to live in, work in and play in. Spark arts, spark culture, spark creativity. Spark giving back. I’m just saying.
To the as-yet-unborn, to all innocent wisps of undifferentiated nothingness: Watch out for life.
Kurt Vonnegut, Deadeye Dick

One Spark is fostering an environment in Jacksonville to start, build and scale new ideas.
What’s not to love about that?
I just started reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. What a great read about American Myth, the heartland and soul. I love this book and wonder why I hadn’t been reading Gaiman before.
Check out this great fiction resource for writers.
The PB&J team put on a picnic for the St. Johns River Keeper. Even though we got hit pretty hard with rain, the attendance was tremendous and we raised money for a very important Jacksonville organization.
Thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers and the community for the continued support.
We made this fun little video for PB&J a not-for-profit that I work with here in Jacksonville. Thanks to Ivan, Claire and Tiffany or the collaboration.
