Was it yesterday's depression and last night's school anxiety dreams that have me thinking I will cave in and subscribe to The NY Times? Fell into looking up stuff on Compton Wynyates, Ronale Manor and Anselm Hall. Lots more no seems to pop up online. Or my personal algorhythms are in tune.
Finished reading, looking through (at the final few pages) Guyotat's Coma. Two books by him are enough. Now I will Google "how to enjoy reading Lobo Antunes" to see if AI can give a hand here.
Ramps. We bought that fine ramp with handrails in Albuquerque last year. Now in the garage we have a shiny new foldable ramp, 7 foot long, to use with the new stair climbing chair due to be installed this Wednesday. The Era of Ramps thrust upon us.
not bad actually --- To enjoy reading António Lobo Antunes's books, it's helpful to embrace their unique style, which often features multiple, overlapping narratives, stream-of-consciousness, and a focus on memory and subjective experience.Antunes's writing can be challenging due to its dense prose and shifting perspectives, but understanding his techniques and the context of his work can enhance the reading experience.
somehow the text would not copy and paste well. Is that by design?
Just noticed this blog goes all the way back to 2006 which had 115 entries. Most for any year. Three years after Virginia's catastrophic event, in 2003. So at least the blog has some sort of presence as a chronicle. When one does is the event automatically reported to Google and the blog removed? Or can any forensic net nerd find anything forever?
sent this to Phil earlier --- wmhuo168 (@William Huo) posted: Milton Friedman didn’t just destroy public education. He rewired how Americans think about everything from housing to health to patriotism.
to which he replied.
I think that part of the attraction is the mathematics of a strictly economic view. It's "econmaththink." One uses calculus to arrive at the "ideal solution" of any and all economic questions. I'm very familiar with it and, if not for Exeter and the Peace Corps, might be trapped in it. Liberalism seems like sloppy thinking to people attracted by econmath's definite goals and answers, which Friedman definitely was. So were all my fellow econ majors at Brown. They are still that way. Which is why I get along best with a Brown classmate who majored in history and later went to law school but whose Jewish decency and background in history enable him to avoid being trapped in the restrictive lawthink. Another think mode that I don't like is militarythink. I find the best generals and admirals are not trapped in militarythink but most generals, colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants and nearly all sergeants are. P
Virginia is now going into her second Iris Murdoch novel!! gasp. her first was The Sea, the Sea, finished a few days ago. She finished watching Indian Summers yesterday.
Traveling family returns late tomorrow night and starts Theater Camp bright and early Monday morning.
Might be that this house demands, commands, writing in this blog as extension, continuation, of "work"---the work we did here for 40 plus years as teachers and scribes and clerks and copyists and scribblers. Artists, actors, producers. Content Influencers, content creators. Whole host of new terms by which to measure lives beyond coffee spoons. Or was it tea spoons?
