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
9/16: first fig
We bought our house in October 2007, and before we had even moved in Chris planted some small fig trees in the yard. Fall 2008 would have been too early to hope for any fruit, but this year we've been keeping our fingers crossed. One of the trees has a number of baby green figs, but only one of them has been ripening in a promising way. Today it was ready to pick! It was beautifully white and rosy inside, and we shared the few bites that it comprised. A homegrown fig is definitely a good thing.
such a sweet story...

I'm so sorry that your daughter's cat got hurt, but what a relief it must be that he returned!
