What I’m Into
Apparently, I have interests other than writing.
Here are four things competing for my attention right now.
LISTENING
Somethin’ Else
Cannonball Adderley
I’m trying to learn jazz instead of merely owning jazz records. This is part of the curriculum.
WATCHING
SCTV
Netflix
Revisiting the sketch comedy show of my youth and realizing just how different comedy was 50 years ago. I laughed. I hated myself for laughing. These young stars-to-be were hysterical.
READING
TRASH! A Garbageman’s Story
Simon Pare-Poupart
They get rid of our trash, but we barely see them. A Montreal sociologist gets sucked into their culture and can’t bring himself to leave. I’ll never look at garbagemen the same way again.
DRINKING
Henry McKenna Single Barrel Bottled-in-Bond
Kentucky straight bourbon
A serious pour for serious fall conversations around a fire pit. At 100 proof, let it breathe for 10 minutes, then add a few drops of water.
