The open-for-inspection half-way home for my writing…
“My Restaurant Was My Life for 20 Years. Does the World Need It Anymore?” in The New York Times
“On the night before I laid off all 30 of my employees,” Gabrielle Hamilton writes, “I dreamed that my two children had perished, buried alive in dirt, while I dug in the wrong place, just five feet away from where they were actually smothered.

An email from MN:
I’m writing today to thank you again for your continuing and far-reaching impact on my life. Your guidance has proven invaluable time and again in more ways than I ever could have imagined.
Even though I’m not quite at $100 million, or really even in the ballpark yet, there is no question that I am much further along thanks to you. In just a few short months, you imparted a master class in business writing and gave me the tools to start building the career I wanted. And for that I will be forever grateful.
But more than anything, I just wanted to say thank you for doing more for me than you probably realized to help me follow slowly but surely in your footsteps.
Great song… great ensemble performance.
