So, all we know and perceive vanishes when we approach it?

They took a picture of my kidneys.  Somehow it reminded me of when they used to prop up dead outlaws so townsfolk could gawk at them.

I got the Selected Poems of John Ashbery, but I've been seduced into reading a biography of Che Guevara.  I started it long ago, but got bored with the long lead up to his meeting with Fidel Castro.  But now I'm into the heart of it, tagging along with Fidel and his ragged band in the Sierra Maestra of Cuba.  I'm going to take breaks from the prose and read Ashbery as the Cuban Revolution progresses.

Reading is a sacred act.

I'm watching Bodies on Netflix, a time travel detective story set in 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053.  I don't know where it's going, but it's holding my interest, which is all I can ask of television show.  Unfortunately, no unforgettable actresses.
