That is a very subtle & amusing point with that one, the reliability in modern IRL vs the betrayal angle in the myth.

Well, ‘Infinite Jest’ *could* work, but then you run the risk of getting a 20-minute monologue from an MFA delivering your pizza, explaining why you can’t skip the footnotes and how the ending is really the beginning, and, and, and…

Awesome! Watch for next month’s featured craft of a festive emergency doorstop. It’s simply a copy of Ulysses wrapped in recycled twine—add a bow if you’re feeling fancy!

I am simply endorsing accumulating specific type of physical media to protest against digitization & AI. Also, it’s energy-efficient insulation when bookcases are on outside walls, and a low-tech home defense system (hurl a Merriam-Webster at would-be intruder).

Oooh, “Number Man” by Carl Sandburg. Dedication is to the ghost of JS Bach. Typical sly playfulness but more music as architecture, with Bach being the greatest builder. Last two pieces composed: Art of Fugue, Mass in B minor—both align to poem’s last line.

Number Man
He added all the numbers he knew, multiplied them by new-found numbers and called it a prayer of Numbers. He knew love numbers, luck numbers, how the sea and the stars are made and held by numbers.

Wrong on SO many levels. In STL, many of the care systems have religious affiliations, making it tough to begin with, but the Catholic systems dominate by far. Unconscionable.

That’s marvelous! Such a beautiful unusual warm timbre, like an oboe met up with a trumpet. Do they all have the leather covering (found that odd…).
