Tried to explain to a member of Gen Z what potpourri is and how every house had a bowl of it on a shelf back in the 1990s. I came off as an insane person.

Reading The Odyssey for the first time since college and I’m struck by the Gods being big babies. If the person they cast their lot for doesn’t win they cry and throw tantrums and beg old daddy Zeus for help.

I love when a writer can’t help themselves, they are urged to dive completely into a word. It’s history, it’s variations, it’s elements and magic. How it relates to their personal experience. —From Robert Duncan’s HD Book

www.kqed.org/forum/201010... #Kaiser continues to stall talk while patients are being rescheduled, rerouted, their medicines unobtainable, and the #unionstrike lines remain strong. It can all end if #KP decides to start valuing their employees and patients instead of only their bottom line.
