Well I can’t write good without bunches of editing, so maybe I could sell the audiobook to those Neanderthals. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

My wife and I had a toast this last New Year's at midnight. We never do that, since she's not a night owl and I like to get up early on New Year's day. But we did it this year, because 2019 was by far the worst year in both of our lives. We literally said, "Here's to 2020. It has to be better than 2019." So, 2020 is all your fault!

In both cases, I blame the first half of the Baby Boom generation (the 1944-1954 cohort). I'm in the 2nd half of the generation so I'm not part of that group. That 1944-1954 birth cohort came into adulthood in the 60s and destroyed cultural norms in many ways. Now they are nearing the end of their run in power (and their lives) and are doing it again in different ways. Weird thing about some of that generation is that they were the Hippies, free love, anti-establishment, etc. people that morphed into the 2000's Fox News loving conservatives tight asses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least I was in Ithaca for Cornell's sweet 16 run thatyear. It was rad.. Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open.

DeSean butler was the greatest college basketball player I ever saw in person. So effing clutch. And then his career was ruined by one of the Plumlee brothers in the final four against duke. Didnt even get the call, either. +++++ duke. Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom.
