A nice stroll along nostalgia

Dear Friends,

Today I went to see Tiffany Hammond of Fidgets and Fries at her book signing in San Diego. It was at the Carmel Mountain Barnes and Noble, which actually was the main bookstore of my childhood. I prefer small independent bookstores, but any bookstore still standing in Amazon’s wake is good with me! And I do feel a fondness for this particular store as a part of my growing up.

It was so great to see Tiffany and Jojo again! I really appreciate her work for our community, and she is also just a cool person. I was so happy to witness how excited fans were to meet her! I am so in awe of her tour. She is so impressive in her strength!

Tara and I then grabbed some Jamba Juice a few doors down. Another exercise in nostalgia. That Razzmatazz still tastes the same, though I haven’t had one in years! Our childhood and adolescence as suburban kids featured many outings to this Barnes and Noble and Jamba Juice. It is a bit bland, but still cherished.

I feel a bit better today. Yesterday was bad and I wouldn’t have been able to carry out any visit to a store. I was so dysregulated. But today feels much lighter. And I got to see a friend and hero to me! So, I am feeling more sunny. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Your Friend,

Danny
