Things That Are Good

Teenagers have their moments.

Getting my online holiday shopping done early for once so I don't have to fret about getting it on time (for items that I need to turn around and send out).

And I found these - a blast from my childhood past! My brothers and I always fought over them and would hide them around the tree/house. We're talking the 1960s (although the elves are from the 40s/50s - my grandmother's decorations) long long before "Elf on a Shelf"

Nice when we lose power. Heat the house and warm up food and coffee. Thankfully my wife doesn't mind being my inside assistant when I'm up on the roof sweeping the chimney.
Attachment 215603

My wife cleans the chimney, gets the pine needles off the roof. She's an ex gymnast, much better on ladders and roofs than I am.
She's up on the roof getting the pine needles off, yells down to me--"what would you do if I fell off this roof and got killed?" "I guess I'd have to hire someone to clean the roof." (We're both getting too old for roofs. Hired the chimney sweep the last time. We'll have to figure out what to do about the pine needles--finding someone bonded and insured to do that kind of work is near impossible these days.

i'd think tahoe is full of climber types that would do it for cashmoney & zero liability if you provide the ladder & blower

Obviously we're going to need full frontal naked pics from her in her mid-twenties to believe this fake news...

...per TGR SOP.




That would be a few things that are good.

FIFY.
Actually I have a climber type kid I can try to get to do it. (Funny thing is--his nickname in HS was cashmoney).

Reading Tolstoy by candlelight. He is the best goddamned writer who ever lived. And I would stand on Proust's dining room table in my hunting boots and say that.

As long as we have you on the line, what do you really think about your buddy Ezra Pound's stuff?

Young Man,

Ezra was very kind to me when I first moved to Paris. He was pretentious and we used to call him "The Village Explainer," which means he would've fit in just fine here in TRG. In the boxing ring he moved around like a crayfish. He thought whisky was only for imbeciles and he might have been right about that. His wife was beautiful and let him have all the lovers he wanted in order to feed his art. They lived so cheaply that they shared a spoon. He lived on the Rue Notre Dame des Champs when I met him. People called it a street filled with genius but he was the only real genius I ever met there.

Pound could write beautifully. He could also write a lot of manure. But in those days many people wrote manure. Not many could write beautifully, certainly not as beautifully as Ezra. Even after his mind decayed and he endorsed the Fascists, there was always poetry inside the man. His mind, and therefore his poetry, was like the Mediterranean Sea, littered with treasure and wreckage. And who doesn't love the Mediterranean Sea?

Well said. Let me get the next round.

Yea, I watch alot of ski video. Often I watch and think ehh, I can do that "Have done that"

Powder days when not a lot of people are on the hill. Only had a few of those but damn it doesn't get better than that resort skiing that is.

[Vt-Freeheel]

^^^ Midweek powder is the best, many weekend warriors cannot escape work Wed/Thur and it keeps crowds down.
