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
2/10: a little box (and its contents)
There isn't much of a tradition of Italian settlement in Arkansas, and though I'm not Italian myself, I do occasionally miss living near an Italian bakery. One of my colleagues (who knows this about me) recently returned from a trip to the Philadelphia area, and--completely unexpectedly--he brought back a little bakery box of Italian cookies just for me! I had some for breakfast, and some more for lunch, and I'm going to have another one right now. It's a good thing it's a little box....
the gorgeous full moon rising low in the sky and how it never fails to move me deeply and take my breath away.
ReplyDeleteNext time your hubby comes to Windsor, he should check out Stella supermarket. There must be more kinds of Italian cookies in there than towns in Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteI will tell him that, kikipotamus--thanks! He'll be in Windsor in late May or early June & I think he'll enjoy having an Italian cookie mission of sorts....
ReplyDeleteAnd kikipotamus: I just noticed your question about Earl Grey with Lavender for 2/7, so I posted an answer in the comments there. Sorry for the delay. If you try it, I hope you like it ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for a sight of the moon as well, elaine. Even if it's hard to find a good thing in other parts of a day, the moon (and getting to see it) is always a good thing, yes?
