Per tradition, I’m putting way too much work into the next post. It’s morphed into a deep dive on one scene from Inside Llewyn Davis. I need a hobby.

The Martinis will continue until…well, until I get tired of Martinis.

Coming soon.

Angel in the Waters (amzn.to/3RUhG0c) is a modern* classic, and the best for talking about a new sibling growing. Parents are gonna cry though.

*anything post-dating my childhood is modern.

“If we are horrified by [forgiveness]—if it disgusts us, or infuriates us, or brings us to tears—it’s a sign we’re getting shocked out of our pious nonsense for once and seeing the truth of the thing.”

A perfect little read to start the Triduum.

Write like no one is reading, ESPECIALLY when no one is. Zero expectations = more of a gift than it appears. I think the reason writers are frequently advised to pretend they are writing a letter to a single friend, even an imaginary one, is that it’s a little too scary to say “Write down your secrets in your locked diary and then put it on the internet.” Scary, in this case, is good. Which would *you* rather read?

FOLLOW THE FEAR.
