If you like Martinis, and want to hear me make the case that the Martini is to the Manhattan as Lore is to Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation — have I got some live clips for you.
Substack is in danger of collapsing under its own weight. There are just too many worthy accounts here now to expect readers to cough up $5 for every writer they want to read. There needs to be some kind of subscription/revenue sharing mechanism so subscribers aren’t constantly asked for money for every damned article they’d like to read. Sell tokens. Punchcards. Come on, SS, INNOVATE ALREADY.
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
I along with my wife, and seven others were confirmed into full communion with the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. It was a beautiful service full of celebration and joy. We all felt truly loved and welcomed.
It sounds cliche but I really feel like I have come home.

I'm in the offshore commercial diving industry. In the last three months I know 3 guys that keeled over from heart attacks and in the last 18 months 6 acquaintances have died from heart attacks. The colleague who told about one mate that died three weeks back said he knows of another 6 divers that have died in the last couple of months.
It's interesting in a tragic way how some professions seem to have more problems, like pilots and now we find out about divers. Perhaps something about these environments affects circulation leading to the dislodging of clots in some way.
