This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

@lyz.bsky.social Great take on FIELD OF DREAMS, but one correction: Baseball has sort of been around for all American history. Acc to THE BASEBALL TIMELINE by Burt Solomon, which I edited, a precursor to it was played at Valley Forge.

How did the Scots get to Midland Park NJ to visit the Park Wood deli? Midland Park is in the middle of nowhere. Is anyone worried about feral packs of Scots roaming the countryside, looking to drag people out and drink with them and go feral? Honestly, that wouldn't be the worst thing.
