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.

Patrick Rhone recalls a conversation with a very wise juggler.
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.
