Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.”—

Ha - wow. Congressional warfare.
Tom Jenkins’ Address is Approximate is a highly-produced stop-animation video. Crafted, sentimental, good.

Went to NYC for the first time in like ten years—friend of a friend lives in Gideon Yago’s old apartment.
My girlfriend has never heard Jermaine Stewart’s “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off.” HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
She should now listen to it for at least 3 days straight to make up for lost time.
A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken.

"Once upon a time in the dead of winter in the Dakota Territory, Theodore Roosevelt took off in a makeshift boat down the Little Missouri River in pursuit of a couple of thieves who had stolen his prized rowboat. After several days on the river, he caught up and got the draw on them with his trusty Winchester, at which point they surrendered. Then Roosevelt set off in a borrowed wagon to haul the thieves cross-country to justice. They headed across the snow-covered wastes of the Badlands to the railhead at Dickinson, and Roosevelt walked the whole way, the entire 40 miles. It was an astonishing feat, what might be called a defining moment in Roosevelt’s eventful life. But what makes it especially memorable is that during that time, he managed to read all of Anna Karenina. I often think of that when I hear people say they haven’t time to read."

resolutions.
1. Per Abe Lincoln, “whatever you are, be a good one.”
2. Stop wasting time. As such, this blog, which has for the past 3 years been mainly a repository for pictures of Carl Sagan and videos of Persian cats eating stuff, will start becoming a place where I maybe actually work on my writing and stuff, or work on stuff that is related to my writing and stuff. None of you care, of course, but this is just my way of documenting this promise to myself so that six months of pictures of Carl Sagan from now, I will feel bad.
Yours,
J.
