Hope you’re doing ok, duder! I just got a new (i.e. old) Jacques Barzun book at the used store a couple days ago. “On writing, editing, and publishing,” complete with Oxford comma in the title.

Also the bacterial therapy stuff is SUPER interesting & I now must find this article.

The other week on Fresh Air Terry Gross had a duel interview with the Feeling Bad marine-guy, as well as Dexter Filkins. This story is of course super-sad and crazy, but it ends in some weird ways. You could listen to the story, or I could just tell you some things like... when the daughter was in the hospital RIGHT after being shot in this terrible happening, she met the man she would marry. He said that he could hear her crying all all all night, so he gave the nurse some money and was like, "Please! Get that lady some painkillers." The world is so weird. It seems like reasonable recourse it to simply put some rubber gloves on your feet and take a nap.

Looks like “The Little Girl…” is on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr27dtqZy7o

(I didn’t actually check to see if all the parts are there, but some of them are, at least!)

That picture is a terrific reason to have babies! But hopefully yours would have feet instead of hands at the end of their legs. As an adult I wouldn’t mind hand feet, but it would be an awful affliction for a child to suffer. Playing the harp would be awesome though. I also cried while listening to that Iraq story while driving to work. Try not to watch too much Sandy news… it can be unhealthy.
