There was a scene in the 1983 miniseries “V” that rocked my world as a kid, where the Earthlings at a nightclub out-sing the occupying Visitor officers with native songs as an act of unarmed defiance, and the top of my head blew off 3 years later when I discovered it was an homage to Casablanca.
On the principle of “two is a coincidence, three is a trend” I feel bound to report that young women are out here wearing knee socks and heels with summer dresses.
[politely, like a good hostess] Well, I know it’s a bit inconvenient to accept my recommendation to read 15 books, but if you do I promise this 16th one is a PIP and a payoff.
My next one will be the 16th Parker book, Butcher’s Moon. Stark thought it was going to be the last Parker book, and wrote it with that in mind. Then he took a break of **23 years** until Comeback in 1997. I have been waiting and waiting to get here in my reading.

“Hearing the click behind him, Parker threw his glass straight back over his right shoulder and dove off his chair to the left.” Back on my bullshit. Banger opening sentence.
go for a walk, read a book, watch season one of Bridgerton and finger yourself, sew up that burst seam you know about but haven’t sewn yet, just wash your face and go to bed, all phenomenal options
When you’re trying to chill, but also trying to motivate yourself, you could do a lot worse on Spotify than dialing up any random playlist with “Letterkenny” in the name.
I am listening to a Spenser audiobook that is performed by Burt Reynolds, of all people. Despite him being about as non-Boston coded as one can be, it’s a surprisingly good match! That thread of wiseassery that runs through everything they both do except when the fighting starts.
A secret debility of mine is that I find these to be incredibly intimidating and suspicious. I will burn something, I’ll do it wrong, I’ll make a mess, people will be waiting and watching me. Can never, would never.
