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

My Greek students have learned the words harma (chariot) and hamaxa (wagon). Today their reading passage from Xenophon contained the word harmamaxa, a blend of the two. And what is a blending of a chariot and a wagon? A carriage of course!
