- I read once that Leonardo da Vinci had the best posture.
- New haul. Excited!
- There are many things I find puzzling but nothing more so than rural Americans.
- I love it when it rains.
- I wonder how many balloons get inflated every election season and how many bring more sorrow than joy.

- Languages
- The best times of my life are when I let go and go with the flow rather than forcing things to go a certain way.
- Ever since I was a kid I’ve wondered what it would be like to be elderly, to be lying on my death bed and looking back on my life.

- There’s a lovely young girl in first grade that loves to call me “Mar Mar.

- Speaking of Amazon, Peak Design just released an amazing video where they pretty much roast Amazon and their predatory Amazon Basics brand.
- When you’re reading a book that just shakes you to your core, where your hands are trembling but you can’t wait to turn the page, where you’re reading and you look at the time and 15 minutes have passed, then 30 minutes, then an hour, and you can’t wait to turn the page, when you read a passage that hits your soul and you underline it and you re-read it and re-read it, where you feel so grateful that you’re alive to read these words, to let them infect you and become you—that’s how I feel after reading American Pastoral.
