It requires someone, be it a friend you bring to the shop with you or a person behind the counter like Brett or Amy or Elijah here at Spoonful, who can say, I remember we had this talk about Sly Stone.

I got these Sly Stone B-sides you want to hear.

That's so cool.

Amy drew this.

Yeah, yeah.

Just the people who know you with a depth of curiosity and care.

Thanks as always, y'all.

Yeah, tell me I said what's up.

And definitely email me the stuff you're working on.

Hit me up.

I think if I offer myself up freely and eagerly to others, it informs our collective, our shared interests in each other.

So that when we come across something that we think might delight the other person, we hold on to it for a while until they reenter our lives again.

And that is beautiful to me.

And I think that has really mapped itself out through my life in Columbus.

Buckeye Donuts is one of my favorite places in the world.

The Buckeye Donuts like glazed on it with chocolate frosting and then a peanut butter center.

It is a phenomenal experience.

It's like an assortment of like cake donuts and jelly filled things.

What's up, brother?

How you been?
