Island dreams

Oh, hi! I haven���t written in a few years, for many personal, industry, and book-publishing (which turned into unexpected self-publishing) reasons, but I have slowly found myself cracking the knuckles and thinking about writing. So, I thought I���d start with a run-on sentence. Check.

In all seriousness, I sat here for a bit and wondered what I should write first. Could it be about tech, design, o

Anthony Bourdain
“It’s very rarely a good career move to have a conscience.”
Anthony Bourdain, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook

Anne Carson
“When they made love
Geryon liked to touch in slow succession each of the bones of Herakles' back
as it arched away from him into who knows what dark dream of its own, running both hands all the way down
from the base of the neck
to the end of the spine which he can cause to shiver like a root in the rain.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

Anne Carson
“...And tonight—Geryon? You okay?

Why do you have your jacket over your head?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Can't hear you Geryon. The jacket shifted. Geryon peered out. I said sometimes
I need a little privacy.
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

Anne Carson
“This was when Geryon liked to plan his autobiography; in that blurred state, between awake and asleep. When too many intake values are open in the soul, like the terrestrial crust of the earth.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

Beth Ann Fennelly
“I don’t remember what we ate or drank or discussed, I remember only the long table filled with high-spirited bohemians—intellectuals, internationals, the great unwashed—and how I yearned to be one of them.”
Beth Ann Fennelly, Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs
