I have never listened to the Joe Rogan show, so the fact that it will be exclusively on Spotify doesn’t affect me directly. However, I do realize that his signing with Spotify may be a gamer changer for the Podcast landscape. However, after reading this Verge article article.

My book recommendation for today is So Sad to Fall in Battle
So Sad to Fall in Battle: An Account of War Based on General Tadamichi Kuribayashi’s Letters from Iwo Jima | IndieBound.org. This book made the Japanese on the island real men with families, dreams and hopes just like the Americans who were fighting them. It is the book the movie Letters from Iwo Jima was based on.

My choice for day three of the book challenge is The Golem and Jinni by Helene Wecker.
My choice for day two of the book challenge is Grant by Ron Chernow.
My first choice for the book challenge is A Treasury of Great Poems by Louis Untermeyer (editor). It is a book that I have had for over 20 years now and still will pick up occasionally and find a new poem that I have not read or read an old one in a new way.

Afternoon tea time with some spearmint tea in my blue and white teacup
Early this morning around 3 AM I woke up. This is my usual time for my bathroom run and normally I would go right back to sleep once I got back into bed. I said normally because this morning was not normal because my mind decided that was a perfect time to think about moving my router into a different room. So I spent about an hour awake while one part of my mind was arguing that I should get up right then and move the router and the other more reasonable part of mine mind argued that it could wait. Sometimes I hate my mind.
My box from Misfit Market came today and it is full of delicious greens
We moved to a small town just north of Erie, Pa back in mid October. The apartment I live in is a little over a mile from the downtown, so within walking distance. My plan had been to start walking downtown to the coffee shop once we hit spring maybe once or twice a week. Well spring has finally come and here I sit at home. Because as the Yiddish saying goes “Man plans. God laughs.”

Lately I think that many people seem to be on a mission to confirm this Will Roger quote true. “There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.”
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
