I watched as a slow-moving pain carved through him like a glacier gouging a path that would become a canyon. Everything was so still you could have painted the room, the dining table set with a cornucopia, candelabra, silver, the carved wooden chairs like straight-backed sentinels — he, sitting at the head, and I, standing and staring and rigid, a fork forgotten in my fingers.

After she popped the last of the turkey club into her mouth, she took the book and pillow from her lap and a sip of lukewarm coffee before swinging her legs off the side of the divan to the floor to wash her hands. The book was new — she didn’t want to damage it just yet. Her bare feet hugged the cool cherry and slowed her progress in their relish as they slapped and slipped and...
The Passenger
by Robert Vaughan
I used to commute from Hell’s Kitchen to Connecticut for work. Not so rough, only an hour from Grand Central Station to my offices in Stamford. But the unforeseen delays coming home were hellish. It wasn’t unusual to wait two hours or more for the “track to clear,” or some other vague notion. Usually I’d just wear my iPod to avoid all of the complainers, and read or draw other...

Current cheeriness:
Despite the frustrations of applying for jobs online and the online application not working…(what’s the point when the internet version doesn’t work? it’s…10x more inefficient. Or it seems so because the internet’s supposed to make things easier. Whatever, I’ve given up for today)…

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most...
“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
