Things To Think About

Onions frying in coconut oil smells like bleu cheese—why?

The location of the bloody camera cable—crucially absent!

Spending all day rewriting and editing an article about American higher education—why do I suddenly sound like U.S. News and World Report?

Marilyn Yalom’s A History of the Wife—did she not get the memo, the one issued daily to me in college, about how there is this whole other world outside the West and a whole lot of people who are not upper-class? These places and peoples have History too. I hear.

My new front yard is just like Parrish Beach—except with coconut, papaya, banana, and avocado trees.

The number of ants I will have eaten by the time I leave here—a lot.
