Posted on April 27, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Barnes & Noble: perpetual canvas

Posted on April 17, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

It occurred to me. I like walking around places like the bookstore. I like messing with people.  I like taking pictures of stuff. Trifecta, people.  I’ve found a regular feature. I’m thinking, once a week, I’m going to waft into … Continue reading →

Flannery O’Connor can wreck a perfectly good ape-suit caper

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Update on my “fireside chats with successful people” idea.

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Ron Giesecke
