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
5/13: wine & water
We opened some Arkansas elderberry wine for dinner this evening. It tasted as if I were drinking May. And then later this evening we sat on the porch and I sipped cold water from my Sigg water bottle. The tactile pleasure of holding the cold aluminum reminded me of summer days when I was young and a neighborhood mother would serve us drinks in brightly colored aluminum cups.
... it's my birthday and I got a big bouquet of flowers...
