I Hear This Is Very Interesting

 

Hmm

 

Saturday Morning

 

Coffee first, of course. 

Errands. Chores. Phone calls. Gas station. Bookstore.

I should run by the post office.

And, of course, there is reading and writing. 

My Substack column should be up today. 

I also need to crank up the marketing of Pilate's Magician.

[Those of you who have written kind reviews are especially blessed.]

And later, as the evening approaches, I need to mow the backyard and trim some bushes.

Wherever you are, have a marvelous weekend. Take it slowly.

1935 or 2026? I Know Which One I Prefer.

 

An Acura Boost or Bore?

 Instapundit: Will Acura find a new groove?

A Rather Fascinating Person

And then, a last snapshot. It's eleven years later - the invasion of Iraq, which I backed, is a disaster; the financial system that my friends helped build has crashed; my wife and I are divorced; the New Republic is sold after I feared going bust - and here I am in my white suit walking across Harvard Yard, surrounded by students: "Harvard, Harvard shame on you, honoring a racist fool." The racist fool is, apparently, me. It's a sodden coda, one I don't quite grasp, or believe.
