Trying to find the first couple of Sadies' albums on vinyl, only to be reminded AGAIN there was time when bands only made CDs. Dear Travis (and Bloodshot Records), what do we need to do to get Precious Moments pressed into a limited run? www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvL6...

every time I read de Beauvoir, even the little things, I feel like I should read more de Beauvoir…

What is most striking to me, and most discouraging, is that [the students] are so apathetic while being neither blind nor unconscious. They know and deplore the oppression of thirteen million blacks, the terrible poverty of the South, the almost equally desperate poverty that pollutes the big cities. They witness the rise, more ominous every day, of racism and reactionary attitudes—the birth of a kind of fascism. They know that their country is responsible for the world’s future. But they themselves don’t feel responsible for anything, because they don’t think they can do anything in this world. At the age of twenty, they are convinced that their thought is futile, their good intentions ineffective: “America is too vast and heavy a body for one individual to move it.” And this evening I formulate what I’ve been thinking for days. In America, the individual is nothing. He is made into an abstract object of worship; by persuading him of his individual value, one stifles the awakening of a collective spirit in him. But reduced to himself in this way, he is robbed of any concrete power. Without collective hope or personal audacity, what can the individual do? Submit or, if by some rare chance this submission is too odious, leave the country.

Today, marks 27 years. Despite so many things being terrible in the world, I am always grateful that our little corner is doing so well. Looking forward to more adventures and rooftop beers! [Tunisa, 2024]

Willy Vlautin’s The Horse is in my top 2025 reads, and lines like this still bounce around my head on Friday nights…

Snip of text from Willy Vlautin’s book The Horse:

"Nothing good happens in a bar at night to a guy over fifty. It's just a fact. So if you're gonna drink out, drink during the day, because day drinking is old-man drinking. And if you can't figure out how to do that financially or with your family then don't drink. I'm telling you, man, be home by sunset with your door bolt locked and your slippers on. It's the only way."

The Spartan9 newsletter is the only one that I *actually* read every time it hits my inbox. The mix of travel/security/technology/politics keeps me interested, and I especially look forward to the monthly reading list: www.spartan9.com/newsletters

not related to Lebanon, but it was surprising to see the Kiosko Morisco (Neo-Mudejar) - it felt like a little Morocco (via Spanish colonialism) in Mexico.

Jill Krementz's cover photo has always been a favorite, but I've been enjoying the inside nearly as much. One Man's Meat (is Another Man's Poison).

standing in the living room, holding the book One Man's Meat by E.B. White.

photo of text from the book: This life I lead, setting pictures straight, squaring rugs up with the room—it suggests an ultimate symmetry toward which I strive and strain. Yet I doubt that I am any nearer my goal than I was last year, or ten years ago, even granted that this untidy world is ready for any such orderliness. Going rapidly through the hall, on an errand of doubtful import to God and country, I pause suddenly, like an ant in its tracks, and with the toe of my sneaker shift the corner of the little rug two inches in a southerly direction, so that the edge runs parallel with the floor seams.
Healed by this simple geometry, I continue my journey. The act, I can only conclude, satisfies something fundamental in me, and if, fifteen minutes later on my way back, I find that the rug is again out of line, I repeat the performance with no surprise and no temper. Long ago i accepted the fact of a rug's delinquency; it has been a pitched battle and the end is not in sight. At least one of my ancestors died lunging out of bed at the enemy, and it is more than likely that I shall fall at last, truing up a mediocre mat.
