– OCTOBER – Auto battery safety.

Sometimes I have trouble thinking of a link. My mom stepped in and saved me just moments ago with this:

– LINK OF THE WEEK –
Fractured Atlas :: Liberate the Artist

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –
What is your favorite Rolling Stones album?

Last night, Nathan Dembowski, brother to scavhunt judge Matt, passed on due to complications due to cancer. I only met Nathan once, but he was warm and friendly and absolutely energized; it was at a Halloween costume party, and his Pee Wee Herman costume was so perfect and spot-on it threw the rest of us into shadow.

– OCTOBER – is the month of alternate histories.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Arthur Miller, Rita Hayworth, Eminem

– QUOTE OF THE WEEK –
“Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.”
– Arthur Miller

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –

I’ve got a weird obsession with the Flint Journal (as opposed with my obsession with Flint in general, which is more encompassing and pathological than simply “weird”).

– OCTOBER – is the month of service dogs.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Oscar Wilde, Eugene O’Neill

– NEWS OF THE WEEK –
Here.

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –
What is your favorite black-and-white movie?

I felt seduced by this writing more than any other we’ve engaged. Now that I’ve got a bit of the syllabus under my belt, I can start to compare my reactions to the different pieces and use that itself as a gauge.

This book has taken me all over the place. Originally, when I first glanced at the table of contents, I almost emailed you to ask whether we were supposed to read just Fernando Pessoa or if the work of his associates was relevant.
