The Alaskan Chocolate Syrup Spill has a narrow lead

Flotsam surfaced while in search of an old photo

I’m prepping for a really cool interview that I’m scheduled to tape tomorrow for a future love, journalism episode. One item I’m searching for that’ll help illustrate this piece is a photo taken circa 1988-89 that I know exits but sadly haven’t been able to find just yet.

But it’s been fun searching. Each crate I open reveals memories and mysteries.

It’s temping to post more pics now of all the stuff I’m finding that links back to writing or journalism or sports or life in general. I’ll save them for now.

While I did promise bonus tracks for paid subscribers, after initially sharing it just with them I’m now letting this exclusive 8th grade literary classic loose for all my new Substack readers.

Which short chapter of Darren’s Book of Historical Fiction would you most like to see reprinted here on love, journalism? Last I looked The Alaskan Chocolate Syrup Spill had a narrow lead.

Vote now in the comment section below and I’ll share in the coming days.
