--Canadian writer Robert Sibley takes on the role of narrative in American politics. I'm always interested to read non-American perspectives on our three-ring circus.
--For a homegrown perspective, free registration is required but SO WORTH IT to be able to witness the massive awesomeness of Frank Rich go by, word by word, on the same topic--through the lens of Wall-E.
--I just found out that you need to eat your whole grains whole, not ground up in flour. Whoops.
--Self-help-with-attitude author Karen Salmansohn fascinates me because she writes post-book books--highly image-driven productions with relatively few words per page. I actually find them difficult to read, which makes me a dinosaur. (I hope I'm a pterodactyl. Always loved those things.)
But her book "How To Change Your Entire Life By Doing Absolutely Nothing"--a really long title for a book considering how few words are actually in it, and I haven't even gotten to the sixteen-word subtitle; it's like the cosmic reverse of "Moby-dick"--does feature more-or-less traditional page design. So I was able to Jurassic my way through it. And here's the thing: her meditation exercises (because that's what those "do-nothing relaxation exercises" are) are the most practical, graspable, doable ones I've ever come across.
I especially like Exercise #10.
--I do believe that would be all for now.
