Months of catch up

Jul 13, 2005 22:01

I know, I never write I never come to see you. What can I say. I have been following along with all of your beautiful lives. I just don’t have the discipline to write on a regular basis. As usual if you really want to know what’s up then hopefully you are already following along in the wife’s journal, but there are a couple of other things I ( Read more... )

I love the idea of a Beer of the Month review. With a Whole Foods near most of us, there is an amazing selection to choose from. It would be an educational experience for us all. Let's all expand our brewed horizons.

3) I volunteer to review all of the cheap beer. Also, I dunno if you've met sauergeek yet, but he's probably up for it as well.
2) I think I'm full up in the furniture department. No, scratch that, I think I still have a surplus chair and halogen lamp that was supposed to be fimbul's. That BASTARD.
4) age 16, all boys should read Heinlein
age 25, they should read it again, and note the things that have changed.
age 35, they should read "Tender is the Night", and then throw a party, and invite Those People. You know, Those People, from the beach?
1) Unless (until?) your wife makes a Pope Hat with a couple slots in it for beer cans and some flexy-straws, I'm thinkin' that she's way too sexy to be designing clothes for me. Sorry. (or a tuxedo with styling cues from the paint scheme on Dale Junior's car? HEY! IT COULD HAPPEN!)

I forgot about Heinlein. 16 is a good year to read Heinlein.

The Stranger, Tropic of Cancer, No Exit: age 16

No wait, that was a terrible idea...

Oh no, "Tropic of Cancer" is the definitive "book to read during high school detentions/study periods that will infuriate your prudish teachers but which they cannot complain about."

Indeed. But teen girl hormones and existentialism are a volatile combination...

I would have said 13 or 14 for Heinlein. These are also the Anne Rice years.

7 if possible, for the Oz books... also a great time to start having Tolkien read aloud to one.

"Catcher in the Rye" by 15 at all costs. "On the Road" by 19.

And I wish someone had reminded me earlier in adulthood to check back in with Huck Finn; he'd changed a lot.
