Hi loves


It was nice to chat with 100+ of you briefly…and after I hung up today I went pretty much straight to Walden with Ash and his pals.


September in Boston can be downright coat and scarf weather but occasionally we get these 80 degree days and it feels like hot July. We brought a pile of books, ran into some generous friends with a paddle board, and, I, for one, pretended summer was not over.

This was the view for a moment.


I feel crushed.

The algorithm of desperate memes and the news have done my head in today…and I had to get a breather to get some perspective.

It’s just absolutely insane at the moment at every level. The wheels are falling off the bus.

Back to my old pal Henry. Simplify, he said. Simplify, simplify, simplify.


So must it be.

Ash and his pals and I spent the day on the water, on the trampoline, eating ice cream and watching Futurama.

In my head, I am too angry to even speak, and yet I can. I did all morning for a webchat, at least.

You can watch it here.

More soon. I love you all.

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

Oh, he’s almost the perfect age for Animaniacs. I think that’s how old my little brother was when we watched it, cooks to think of it. Man, that’s one of those things I wish I could watch for the first time again.

The idea is lovely, but in practice, I don't think most people want the truth. It's too difficult to grapple with. When the truth aligns with your goals, no problem. But when truth is at odds with one's beliefs a difficult decision must be made, and change is often too painful. Just an observation, I could very well be wrong.

During the pandemic, I went to Walden several times a week, almost every day, to walk around the pond, gaze at the water, and tame chipmunks. (They are easy to tame and will eat out of your hand.) It's such a wonderful place.

As a former editor, I always want to advise Hank that if he really wanted to simplify, he should have simply enjoined us to simplify. Still love Walden— the literary meditation and the meditative spot. So many memories with each…

All that sand and water reminds me of how much more studying I have to do for a Geology exam. I had a private meeting with the professor during his office hours as he told me that 50% of all students fail his class every semester.
