If our president had really wanted to help, he should have invoked the Treaty of Alliance (1778) and put Kylian Mbappé in the lineup. #AllezLesBleus

For years I’ve occasionally heard the tinest sounds in the background in South Florida. Like a tiny creaking or croaking or cricket-leg scratch. I’d look around though, and there was never anything there. Yesterday, I think I finally found the source of the noises in my head. The littlest bigfoot!

Mojitos are such a thing at La Concha they have their own bar, Tropicado, just inside the doors from Duval St. There are no fewer than six (6) refreshing varieties here. If you try all six, there’s the added plus of a room available upstairs to sleep them off. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/16/r...

At the end of an unnamed road, down from the top of an unnamed hill on Mayreau, I told a guy standing on the beach beside Mama Jean’s that I must have died on the walk and arrived in heaven. He laughed. “It is nice,” he said. His name was Peter.

I was late appreciating #BobDylan. By the time I bought this album, 30 years had passed since "Blowin' in the Wind." In #ACompleteUnknown, Dylan first plays it for #JoanBaez. I imagined them sharing it in that moment before anyone else, and felt tears roll. Powerless in the presence of great art.

I always see something new whenever I visit the Everglades. Today it was a whirlpool, which I could get used to listening to. And a big crocodile, which convinced me to stay out of the water.
