This is bleak and funny at the same time. But I admit that my first thought upon seeing the picture was: why have they charred all of the Caps For Sale man's caps?

I regret to inform you that things are better in Madrid.

Since the death of Renee Good, I've been thinking a lot about the way that the pro-slavery press covered the murder of abolitionist printer Elijah Lovejoy in 1838. In short, he was blamed for "disturbing the peace" and "provoking violence" by agitating for abolition. History/tragedy/farce, etc.

We lost Luna (the little spoon) today. 16 years was a good run. But it breaks your heart anyways.

Things are complex. But the first lines of this book about democratic possibility in crisis that I bought today in Madrid are resonating hard.

My daughter loves to grab a post-school tortilla in our neighborhood bar in Madrid, served under the watchful eyes of Maradona, Del Bosque, Simeone, et al.

The Iberian blackout was wild and I fear some were really harmed. But here in our Madrid neighborhood folks were chill. Lots of kids on the park and happy lingering beer drinking on patios. Hard to imagine this much social cohesion in the US. We had a terrace picnic.

I am pleased and confused to report that in Gibraltar many of the Indian restaurants also serve sushi…

Unsolicited semi-random restaurant review #18: Restaurante Vizcaino in Sentenil de las Bodegas. Out of the tourist flow. Marginally insane menu. Delicious. Get the special burger with green sauce. www.restaurantevizcaino.com

In Madrid for three months. Happy to report that the world beyond the US still exists and that morcilla remains among the most magical gifts that world has to give.
