Downtown Phoenix, there are some incredible decaying buildings.

When rain clouds and Arizona sunsets meet.

Arizona sunsets can be wonderful.

I've started reading again. It's fun and I'm having a great time. I set two ground rules for this great book awakening. No Kindle – these had to be actual books with actual pages. And no Amazon – sorry Jeff, but I'd like to support the local book shop.

To that end, I can't say enough good things about Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix. It's the kind of place when you walk in you feel right at home and the people therein are your tribe. But as a special bonus, Changing Hands has First Draft Book Bar inside it. Quite simply "A Bar In A Bookstore".

It's as absolutely pleasant as it sounds, having a Tower Station with your head in a book.

As to what I'm actually reading, that dear reader, will be another post.

If you like Pinot Noir (and if you don't what is even going on with you?), I highly recommend this. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's the best Pinot Noir I've ever had.
