There's plenty of corruption, crimes against humanity, and downright evil shit to focus on, but every so often it strikes me how thoroughly we USians have been exposed and disgraced on the world stage. A country who can elect such a man—twice!—is not a worthy country. We need radical reformation.

At Wes in the 80s there were so few creative writing classes and extremely difficult to get in. Would have loved to had a class with her.

Restaurant guy here. Last week I was able to get a case (80 pounds) of 80/20 for around $4.30. That’s bulk wholesale. A lot of what we get is closer to $5

Bought 2 tix at Gillette 9 months ago cause I figured someone would want to go. Told my wife and daughter last month I had tix. “You like ES?” Daughter “eh” Wife “ not really” Sold at a loss 2 weeks ago. At this rate it might just get canceled

My father rarely watched TV but always wandered down from his study every Thursday at 9pm to join me. He loved Dietrich.

I would agree with this. I get the FDA email updates and there are actually a lot of recalls that go on all the time. Majority don’t affect my restaurants but it’s nice to not have to wait for a supplier to let me know if a product is on a list.

So much for tradition? Wesleyan will be hosting Bates for football at homecoming. Never heard of such a thing in my lifetime. Little3😢
Wesleyan announced Homecoming Family weekend where they will be playing Bates. Not Williams nor Amherst

I am beginning to book Public Scholar workshops for spring. I am bad at self-promotion but good at teaching people to bring their ideas to new and larger audiences. It's mid-August. Surely you will soon be planning your faculty workshops in January through May. www.davidmperry.com/go-public/

Just got back from Bob Dylan concert. Loved his music since HS. Every album from Freewheeling, Highway 61, Blood on the Tracks etc. even the religious stuff love Slow Train Coming. Played Infidels non stop in HS. In concert… he’s just awful. Saw a rainy show in ‘89 and tonight was equally bad.

Seems like sitcoms are a dying form. Certainly compared to my childhood of 70s and 80s shows with 50s and 60s reruns.

I was 9 and for a year leading up to it there was a thing called “bicentennial minute” on TV where a celebrity would tell you what happened that day 200 years ago.
