Another day, another Airbnb, another part of Tennessee, another sunset. Seems cyclical.
Ted Gioia documents the story of Barnes and Noble’s rebirth and regrowth:
“Daunt refused to play this game. He wanted to put the best books in the window. He wanted to display the most exciting books by the front door. Even more amazing, he let the people working in the stores make these decisions. This is James Daunt’s super power: He loves books.”

So a white Christmas in Nashville is pretty cool
Old mate out on the back fence of our Airbnb in Nashville this morning is a bit cold.
Merry Christmas from The Withers, Tennessee edition.
Please let it be true, that 2023 is the year of RSS. Death to big tech running our conversations, our views, our beliefs, our relationships and our careers.
That cold front hits Franklin, Tennessee and its -18 degrees Celsius but feels like negative 30.
So so cold

I’ve been in Nashville less than 24 hours and the Christmas miracles have already begun
It is well
and with that the 2022 wedding season comes to an end
State of The Withers union, 20 December 2022
Waiting in an airport lounge for a flight to Dallas after wrapping up all my wedding bookings in Australia I thought I’d answer a few questions.
Matt asked for Tequila ratings. Mike asked Why Mexico? Kristie asked why people fly their celebrant around the world for weddings, why not get someone local? Dan asked What’s the best low-key wedding I’ve done. Steele demanded an answer. Chantell asked how often I meet with my couples to do personalised ceremonies I can do without a script. Luke asked about any time saving tips in business. Mel asked if I was quitting weddings now?
I’ve almost escaped Australia, just waiting for that delay to Dallas to stop being a delay
Pretty proud to see our AirBnb - The Tugun Pause - featured as a best Gold Coast AirBnb beach house and also best Gold Coast pet-friendly accomodation!
Have you ever wondered what the last tweet will be?
Update on my Playdate pre-order/order that I’ve been salivating over since 2019: they were kind enough to move me to American shopping and it’s now in the mail!
