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
10/30: strangers met
I don't like meeting strangers, and I definitely don't like making conversation when if feels like an obligation. But two professional contacts (whom I've never met in person) happened to be passing through town today, and they asked if I wanted to get together for coffee and a chat. So I met them this morning. They were very pleasant people, and I even think I managed to not be my usually socially awkward self.
