never forget what they took from us

[lucas @thislucassanto]

“Watching a fight on television has always seemed to me a poor substitute for being there. For one thing, you can’t tell the fighters what to do. When I watch a fight, I like to study one boxer’s problem, solve it, and then communicate my solution vocally. On occasion my advice is disregarded, as when I tell a man to stay away from the other fellow’s left and he doesn’t, but in such cases I assume that he hasn’t heard my counsel, or that his opponent has, and has acted on it. Some fighters hear better and are more suggestible than others — for example, the pre-television Joe Louis. ‘Let him have it, Joe!’ I would yell whenever I saw him fight, and sooner or later he would let the other fellow have it.”

Steinbeck never heard Marlena Shaw’s California Soul. He died the year before it dropped.

When I first started at Shopify 11 years ago I sat across from Dan. Now he’s publishing books @tylercowen calls the best of the year. Wild, but not surprising. Can’t wait to read it.

The algorithm gods introduced me to "rucking," walking in nature with extra weight. It's great.

Today's walk featured a one-eyed deer with her fawns, a heron, and a hawk.

Read East of Eden. Talked to a machine about it. Felt more human than I have in years.
Timshel. So it goes.

Read two pages of East of Eden and realized I’ve been wrong for nearly thirty years about Steinbeck.
