Invest a Dime

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together

Set It Down in a Tear-stained Letter
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

The Brothers Four — I was walking home from a grocery store run. Most grocery runs are dry runs for photos. Then again, who knows when you will find four friendly lads up a tree.

When the child was a child
It didn't know it was a child
Everything for it was filled with life and all life was one
Saw the horizon without trying to reach it
—Peter Handke. Nobel Laureate in Literature, 2019.

A Spy Alone by Charles Beaumont. >It’s Brexit & the Ukraine war. It’s Russian interference. It’s EU & NATO skepticism. It eerily mirrors the current US political landscape. All brilliantly laced into a thrilling, thought provoking novel. It’s the best spy novel I‘ve read in years.

@newyorker.com “SYRIA’S EMPIRE OF SPEED,” by Ed Caesar, is brilliantly written & researched. With the fall of the Assad regime, what will happen to Syria’s mega-lucrative captagon industry? I hope Mr. Caesar is working on a follow-up piece!
