Then we had a mango taste test. With a Thai nam doc mai mango, an ataulfo (honey) mango, & a Tommy (atkins) mango. We voted the ataulfo the best by far. The nam doc mai shipped green & was soft but not ripe. Was meh. The Tommy is just a classic & great. But ataulfo won. So good

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

For 30 years now, I’ve listened to REM ‘Sweetness Follows’ on almost every flight I’ve taken, hundreds upon hundreds of flights across time & space. And for me, the message is the same
“It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and thunder”

Here are a few of the works of Japanese artist Lito, AKA Lito Leaf. He was born in 1986 in Japan and started his craft in 2020. He was diagnosed with ADHD at age 30 and turned to leaf art as a way to focus. A thread.

One of my favorite unhinged places on the Internet is the NYT Cooking recipe comments, and this is the perfect distillation: "Is there a reason you didn’t mention cold food options? Do you think you’re better than other people just because you cook?"

“As for the secret language, he’d give me direction like “more wind” or “think Elvis.” Other times, after a take, he’d come stand next to me, and we’d just both look out into the distance and somehow — I can’t explain it — commune in that quiet space.”

"It’s why he never wanted to explain his work. He wasn’t trying to be surly or obtuse....It’s just that explaining his art after the fact seemed antithetical to the very point of making it."

This is a problem in media, too. Entertainment company executives who don’t watch movies or TV or read books. There are even book publishing execs who have no contact with their own products except as spreadsheet entries.
A lot of corporate decisions make more sense when you realize that many company leaders *just don't use their own product*. They have no idea of the actual experience and instead see it in the abstract, through metrics and spreadsheets. True not just for stores, but hardware and software too.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
