Read the historic Anthony Burgess essay in the recent The New Yorker’s Science Fiction issue. Some good fiction in that one, too.

NPR is where I first heard Heartless Bastards more than a year ago. Erika Wennerstrom is the vocalist — amazing voice. And the band on their 2009 album, The Mountain, is incredible, too. Have not listened to their latest album (Arrow) yet.

the latter, of course! And I’m trying hard to stay in the no-insult/snark-free zone. At least when posting.

I do think they would benefit from simply labeling the donuts. When we were there, she had to tell each person what kind of donuts they were and then wait for them to decide. If they were labeled, people would be ready to order when they reached the counter.

But any small gripes I had about service were wiped clean when a bright-eyed, pint-sized little girl brought out a fresh tray of warm donuts, family business style. I was instantly won over.

And then I was won over again with a warm vanilla bean donut and a dang fine cup of joe. I will be back, there’s no doubt.
