Heyo fellas and fellows! New York City has been enjoying an intense heat wave, so I’ve been sliding into the air conditioned museums. Particularly enjoyed the exhibits at the NY Historical Society this month. Books: I’ve been on the circuit promoting my book, Miscellaneous Madness (be sure to grab your copy!), and one of the culture critics said … More Get Lit – July 2022
Summer is here! Books: My book, Miscellaneous Madness, tops the list this week. You can order it here. Remember to write a review (on Amazon, on Goodreads, and on your social media pages). AND stay tuned for a virtual night with the author (me!). Links to come. Thomas Friedman, of New York Times notoriety, wrote Thank You for Being … More Get Lit – June 2022
Oh, boy! I have some goodies for you… **First of all, my book is on sale at Amazon!** Order your copy of Miscellaneous Madness now. Barbells: I bought a barbell a while ago and it finally arrived. My home gym is complete and I am very happy. Here’s a throwback to an easy to follow workout. You can do it … More Get Lit With Kit – May 2022
And…we’re back! It’s important to state your goals and pursue them. One of my goals this month was to detach and recenter. I was partially successful. I definitely enjoyed my time at Bluebird Alpaca Farm (those little creatures are so cute and serene!), but maintaining the feeling of tranquility was tough once I got back to ‘the real … More Get Lit With Kit – April 2022
Greetings and salutations! March was certainly madness for me. Books: First, I devoured Tina Fey’s hilarious autobiography, Bossypants. Key takeaways: Two peanuts were walking down the street. One was a salted. Sometimes we forget to take a look in the mirror – but when we do, we can see the hypocrisy. And then we can change. … More Get Lit With Kit – March 2022
I hope you are grooving! I certainly am. This month, I read several BOOKS that overlapped in a curious way. Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality mentioned the fact that kids don’t have the basics and are not strong enough in the foundations. This hinders excellence, obviously. Nicholas Carr’s The Shallows presented the dangers that await us all when we are unprepared … More Get Lit With Kit – February 2022
Bear with me as I take my neural pathways for a walk. First off, The Martian, by Andy Weir, is a fantastically funny book. I enjoyed it to the point of envy and I hope that my first literary accomplishment can muster the same laudable final product. If you are unfamiliar with Weir’s story, it … More ‘Mined’ Over Matter
I’d like to begin with gratitude this month. A friend who reads this newsletter commented that he would like to hear my ‘takeaways’ from the books I read. I am rededicating to that purpose. I read two notable books this month with seemingly nothing in common. Enemies, A Love Story by Issac Beshevis Singer was a philosophical (and … More Get Lit With Kit – January 2022
Deck the halls 🙂 I’d be lying if I said I was keeping up with my reading. I did, however, encounter one provocative piece about ayahuasca from Stephanie Lin at https://www.thenewearthwayshower.com As I read her thoughtful insights, I was struck by the notion of how powerful we humans are – when we choose to be, when … More Get Lit With Kit – Best of December 2021
