Read a Tesla bio. Amazing guy. He invented so much, so fast that the world couldn't keep up with him. He gave away fortunes to rich guys because he was ready to move on to new things.
I'm finally getting around the Maybe Next Year and (Spoiler Alert) the &%$ing Dodgers left Brooklyn!
I've always wanted to use a Spoiler Alert and now that I have, I find it less satisfying than anticipated. Like the time I used air quotes or the time I crossed the street without looking. It was just stupid.

Right now I am reading “Of Human Bondage” by W Somerset Maughm. I do not remember why I decided to read it, but it is outstanding.

“Amazing new swiffer fails to fill the void”
The blank, oppressive void facing the American consumer populace remains unfilled today, despite the recent launch of the revolutionary swiffer dust-elimination system, sources reported Monday. The light weight, easy to use swiffer is the 275,894,973 amazing new product to fail to fill the void—a vast, soul crushing spiritual vacuum Americans of all ages hopelessly face on a daily basis, with nowhere to turn and no way to escape.
“The remarkable new swiffer sweeps, dusts, wipes, and cleans with a patented electrostatic action that simply cannot be beat,“ said spokeswoman Judith McReynolds, media relations liaison for Procter & Gamble, maker of the dust broom device. “Whether it’s vinyl floors, tile, hardwood, ceilings, or stairs, the incredible swiffer quickly cleans any dry surface by attracting and trapping even the tiniest dirt and dust particles.” McReynolds continued, “say goodbye to tedious dusting chores forever… The swiffer way!“
Upon completing the statement, McReynolds was struck, as she is most days, with a sudden, unbearable realization that she has wasted her life.
“The new swiffer, as seen on TV, requires no spray or chemical cleaners, so I’m sure you can understand how excited I was to finally find some thing that could give my sad, short existence a sense of worth,“ said Madison Wisconsin homemaker Gwen Hall. “When I simply tore off the patented swiffer cloth and threw it away, as easy as one, two, three, it was like so many hollow, rejected yesterdays.“ Loosening her grip on the swiffer’s convenient extendable handle-which can reach even the tiniest corners- Hall added, “I felt so alone. So very, very alone”

If the swiffer does not fill you with joy, try cocaine.

Reading “Babbitt” by Sinclair Lewis.
“The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his "ideas" almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture, and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country store. Certainly there was nothing exhilarating in the actual words of his speeches, nor anything convincing in his philosophy. His political platforms were only wings of a windmill.“
