Books

Because I stand in literary solidarity with my page-turners, from prologue to acknowledgments. Reading is important; I hope to play a small part in encouraging you to develop the best habit there is.

Rum, always a reason for it

“Rum makes us happy people” – Peter, Appleton Rum Estate Tour Guide (Jan. 3, 2025)

You understand sugar & rum -> you understand how this all came to be, at least the transatlantic world (at a minimum). Don’t believe me? Well, that’s why we have books.

Strap in. More than that, let’s get you knowledgeable about the liquid. I’ll chat it up in a way that hopefully lights up parts of the brain that weren’t ticking before. At the end of the day, no other spirit lubricates socializing (stereotypes notwithstanding) quite like the big R.

And there is nothing more important than engaging with each other deeply before we get knocked off this thing, as will inevitably happen. Be human, it’s invigorating.

Pour up and join the journey, as long as you #rumresponsibly.

Other rumblings as we go (“And Then Some”)

Fake philosopher. Biased to NY & east coast hip hop. Dancehall set in motion the ripple that moves the rest of these waves (I kid, it was the Blues). It’ll range, but we’ll always swim back to shore (books + rum).
