Not to worry, there’s been no more snow, that’s a photo from a couple of weeks ago.
This evening, I finished reading Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones, a beautiful, tragic, frightening, touching book. I really love what the New York Times said about it, not least of all because it’s so true:
And Jesmyn Ward makes beautiful music, plays deftly with her reader’s expectations: where we expect violence, she gives us sweetness. When we brace for beauty, she gives us blood.
I wish I could say the end of Rubicon was as satisfying. It comes to something like a conclusion, but it seems pretty evident they thought they were coming back for another season — or at least thought so for so long they didn’t have much time to course-correct. It’s a really good show, but ultimately unsatisfying.
Anyway, that was Thursday.
