I’m grateful for a bright, sunny morning. I’m grateful for the new (to me) Haydn record that’s playing. I’m grateful for truly great coffee this morning. I’m grateful for the things that get me grounded and facing in the right direction. I’m grateful for unexpected nice stuff. I’m grateful to be sober today.
Happy Saturday and I don’t know about you, but there’s a lot going on over here. Episode 21 of Breakfast with an Alcoholic will be out later this morning and that will be super exciting because it features Jane and her friend J—it’s a really great breakfast, although we may have to amend the title of the “Alcoholic Lightning Round.”1
I’ve been remiss in passing around interesting things I see, mostly because it’s been all about me lately, so here, I think this is brilliant, like the the other stuff Tatiana has done.
I know I say that everyone is fantastic and brilliant, but Holly Rabalais really is!2 This is hot off the presses and you should read/listen to it:
Last, this is off-topic but great and really funny:
It’s the dog-days of Summer3 and it's easy to feel uninspired and lazy. However, I feel like I'm doing more than my share to provide you with interesting ways to spend your time. Make sure you put a placeholder in your weekend calendar to listen to Episode 21 of Breakfast with an Alcoholic.4 And I will see you here tomorrow.
Thanks for Letting Me Share
If you’d like to submit questions for future Alcoholic Lightning Rounds, I’ll ask them. If you’re getting tired of the Planet of the Apes and Wang Chung nonsense (and I’m not nearly at the bottom of the well on that), this is your way out.
I’m not saying that because she has publicly complimented these footnotes, but it certainly hasn’t hurt things.
And why do we say that like it’s a bad thing?
We’re going to be looking pretty closely at these numbers. Not trying to add pressure, just being transparent.
That Extra Evil article was hilarious!🤣
