This point about Bienville Parishis great.

Bonus points if you caught the reference.

A photo of the former president in his Mar-a-Lago home office with Stephen miller popped up online and people noticed a small bronze statue on a table behind Miller.

Life Will Break You

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.”

― Louise Erdrich

Last week I pulled something in my left knee. Monday evening I stood up too fast and made it 100% worse. Now I’m stuck on my bed with my knee up on pillows with ice packs.

Luckily, I have two nurses, Fitz and Ellie to sit on my bed and watch me.
