An autumnal, MFA, Swiftie dad joke, if I may: Q: What do you call the sonnet the creative writing faculty composed whilst apple picking? A: Straight from the orchard poets department.

Styles-Cena at #WWECrownJewel was super fun, but also, let’s be honest, a flow-less nostalgia spotfest. I enjoyed it and the Bray spot in particular got me emotional, but folks calling it an all-time classic are reaching. Rhodes-Rollins was easily the best match on the show.

This Friday, Corvallis!

Wait til y'all get a hold of JW's THIS WORLD WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF STRANGERS, out Nov 18th from Cowboy Jamboree...

Grateful for a downright magical homecoming to Corvallis.

Just for fun… The last time CM Punk successfully defended a world title? A January 2013 episode of Raw when he bested Ryback with an assist from The Shield. Also, on the episode, Cody Rhodes was 1/2 of The Rhodes Scholars with Damien Sandow.

Tried the new Sarah McLachlan album, which was good, but it also reminded me of how much I love Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. Listened to that one end to end for the first time in the better part of a decade, and man does it still hold up. A Mt. Rushmore album for my personal tastes.

I love my wife. Also, this was an actual quote from the last 10 minutes: “Hunter… isn’t that Triple X’s real name?”

In case anyone wondered about the current state of targeted advertising on social media works, I made one post about Sarah McLachlan and this showed up on my feed.

Cena should 100% pay that first IC title win forward by dropping the title to Sheamus. #WWERaw

Wrote a little something to honor one of the best who ever did it, 20 years after he passed. #EddieGuerrero sescoops.com/editorials/edd…

Not exactly on my bingo card, but you can now buy one of my poems as an artisan reed diffuser 🤷🏻‍♂️ urbanganges.com/product-page/m…

Hey and while you’re there, check out great books from authors on CJ’s insanely deep roster: Daren Dean Jonathan Danielson Kevin Grauke Melissa Flores Anderson Benjamin Drevlow JD Clapp Mike Chin Sheldon Lee Compton Steve Lambert (and those are just the ones I could find on twitter)

Thanksgiving is a three day holiday. Starts with Thursday dinner, ends with War Games. #Thanksgiving #SurvivorSeries

👍 to losing the shark cages. They worked for Dakota Kai’s heel turn in NXT & that fun spot of Reigns blocking Punk’s way, but I always felt there’d be better pops for individual entrances; I think that’s proving out here. #SurvivorSeries

Who’ve you been listening to?

I’m pleased to have some new flash fiction out in the world, “Summer Snow,” alongside some other great work in the new issue of Roadrunner Review. sites.msudenver.edu/roadrunnerrevi…
