I spent the weekend here: "Trigg's Station," about 4 miles NW of Harrodsburg KY, was established by Stephen Trigg, a settl and Revolutionary War officer. He settled here in 1780, during a turbulent period in Kentucky’s early history, marked by conflict with Native American tribes and British forces.

I've said it before, and stand by it today: the moment your article/essay/whatever emits the word "I" or "me," that article/essay/whatever begins to suck. Only very rarely is this not the case. It is never the case for autobiographies.

As we all enjoy our holidays, we should try to remember the true meaning of Christmas, as shown to us by Dickens in A Christmas Carol: undead creatures torturing the rich with threats and sleeplessness until they treat people better.

Those of you who know me, know that I can be something of an aesthete when it comes to the clarity of the ice in my whisky. Clear is best and directional freezing is the only way to get there. Tried it with an off-brand stanley- type mug that I found in a hotel room, and the results were... decent!

Saw Day of the Dead en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_... last night at the always-great Alamo Drafthouse here in St. Louis. Splendid experience, and they do popcorn right - butter, salt, and a bottomless bowl.

As spring approaches, young people's thoughts turn to love. And in this glorious time of renewal and rebirth, I only wish to add one thing: remember that whenever you kiss you create, for a brief moment in time, a single long tube from butthole to butthole.

Oh god. Are we doing shelfies of (a) current reads, (b) the giant pile of unread books that I keep acquiring, or (c) the most personally evocative shelf in the library? Here's a portion of my unreads.
