Shut up Willa Cather.

Ok, this one hurts. I memorized The Elements Song in highschool, you know, to impress girls and I owe the long line of suitors at my door to him.

I don’t actually know anyone in my peer group who also likes Ghost, but I went to the show with about 20k others this week so I know they’re around, and I’m still thinking about it!

As I write about repair this week, struck by the latest @acnewman.bsky.social piece in which he contemplates working on something that does not improve over time. The more you work, the further away you get. Hm.

Today I was strolling down Commercial St in Ptown, as one does, and we all had to stop so a bunch of people could do the same thing but dressed in 70s outfits. And then we could go, and then they did, repeat etc, and it was really funny. That’s how I almost tripped onto a movie set.

I’m so glad this show is back, and was thrilled to hear Jonathan’s honest account of reevaluating his relationship with alcohol. I recommend it for anyone doing the same.
