The SLUSHPILE Blog

In addition to working on Jim Spurr’s upcoming Reflections in the Wake, anticipating Martha being featured in a prominent newspaper, working up a proposal for Choice Books, switching out the discounts to wholesalers and retailers in general, and the on-going real estate classes (which I consider as my ‘extra-curricular’ activity), there’s another little on-going project [...]
