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
10/10: lunch and the gift of time
One of our friends from Little Rock drove up to Conway today to see fragments from Sappho. It was really kind of her to come, and I'm especially grateful because I know that during the school year she's very busy with teaching, grading papers, and trying to keep her own writing going, and so every hour she has to herself is precious. I feel like she gave me a gift of her time and attention. Chris and I had lunch with her before the performance, and I think/hope she enjoyed the performance enough that she'll consider the afternoon time well spent.
