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
12/5: boys who knit
My spouse, Chris, is a better knitter than I am, and a number of years ago he helped to start the knitting club on our campus. The club's new president is a student of mine, and a nice picture of him was in the campus paper today to publicize the club. In the photo he's sitting, wearing a multi-colored hat and scarf which he made himself, and intently knitting a new project.
It's not 8 a.m. yet and I've just taken a look at your Swap-bot profile after rating you for the marvelous 'change' notecard. So I'm smiling and that's my first good thing for this day.

Today's good thing: Sleeping in and not being woken up by the dog.
