freezing rain and “wintry mix” feel like insults to the spirit in ways that ordinary snow and rain do not
Window covered with freezing rain.
Don't get me wrong. I love where I live. But freezing rain? Yeesh.

Yes. You will need to decide whether or not the burrito is a dumpling. Deeply philosophical issue.
Perfect. Lots of research and field work.
Manifesting. A 12 part documentary series called DUMPLING. Exploring this cross-cultural phenomenon from won-ton to ravioli to perogi, etc. all the way to pig-in-a-blanket. Narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Never trust a guy in his twenties who owns a suit, imho.
That too.
Shame and shunning should make a comeback.
That's fair.
That moment when you realize that, contrary to what you've always believed, you're not the smartest guy in the room.
Starting BRAWLER. Because I so loved The Vaster Wilds where I "discovered" Lauren Groff.
I have never, ever read a memoir. Ever. But then again, there's this one.
Breaks my rule. Shouldn't take longer to watch than to read. It's 206 pages. Besides, everybody should read John D. MacDonald.
The Ramones eponymous album.
hey, i'm old. this album turns 50 this year.
Exactly.
We still worry for them all. Yet we have to let go. Tough! 👍
Amazing to see our boys as the amazing men they now are, isn't?
Listening to this one again. I have no imagination, sure. But damn good taste, if I do say so myself. 😉 jazzsky #jazz

Or his vinvl. Which, the younger people tell him, is coming back again. Bullshit, Duke thinks as he listens to the Jack Montrose Sextet play"" Old Feeling' (Pacific Jazz Records, 1955). -vinyl records neyer went where. Duke's collection of the genre generally known as "West takes up most of the second floor of his house, and his nephew-in-law, his sister's daughter's well-meaning but idiotic husband is afraid that the weight of all those albums is going to collapse the floor. Also bullshit, Duke thinks. His house was built in 1926, when they built things to last. When most guys his age look out at the ocean, the soundtrack in the minds is the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Dick Dale or maybe the Eagles. Not Duke. He hears Cool School. Pacific Jazz Records. Art Pepper, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Hampton Hawes, Shell Manne Chet Baker, Shorty Rogers, Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars Len nie Niehaus, Lee Konitz, Bud Shank, Clifford Brown, Cal Tiadet, Deve Gordon, Wardell Gray, Harold Land, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond: Limmy Giuffre, Red Mitchell, Stan Kenton, Benny Carter... Charlie Parker blew here. They all did.
Reading Don Winslow, and hells yeah! Jazzsky #jazz
