Five More Things Distracting Me This Week
And now I’m going to distract you with them, too
Song I heard that I haven’t heard in a long time. No, not Blue Monday. You can’t swing a dad cat without hitting a version of Blue Monday. I’m talking about Matthew Wilder’s “Break My Stride”.
A book I’m reading. Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby. Oh, man. This book is great. Best thing I’ve read all year. The best book I expect to read this year.
Which is saying something since I’m doing a deep dive into Chris Offutt.
Something I’ve written that you probably didn’t read. How Life Taught Me a Lesson in the Woods.
A thing I ate but didn’t save you any. With summer largely in the rear view mirror, I’m reminded of the refreshment to be found in a paleta on a hot and sticky day.
A quote I’m thinking about. “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” Nora Zeale Hurston
