Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/13: a moment of sunshine with a friend
Over the years I've gotten to be good friends with one of my colleagues in my department at work. We've had a busy year and our teaching schedules don't mesh well, so we haven't talked much recently, except in passing. But we both went to the same end-of-the-day meeting today and after it we decided to walk to the coffee shop to get some sandwiches for dinner. Although it had been raining earlier in the day, the sun came out and we got to sit, talk, and eat under the green dogwood tree while the setting sun cast its yellow light on us.
