I thought perhaps the President was going out for coffee when I heard the sirens, but the motorcade was for the football team after they beat the Vineyard at Fenway. 😜

While I’m home talking to my cats, little brother is lecturing at the University of Copenhagen this week.

My wife has one of the original prints of this photo from her father, 2nd Lt. Robert B. Bales, standing at the far right.

We're scattered. Paul is in New Jersey, Arnie is in California, Sid is in Connecticut, and I'm in Nantucket.

1/ At long last, can we all stop pretending that Alito, Thomas, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh are legitimate jurists? They are politicians who were effectively “appointed” to the Court by the Federalist Society, which has turned the Supreme Court into an unaccountable super-legislature. Their mission is to repeal and replace the 20th Century—to destroy the guardrails protecting Americans from civil rights violations and corporate predations. #Immunity

Maybe a rope-tensioned drum. But probably knot.

On our bookstore crawl in Dallas today, I saw seven typewriters. This one is in Deep Vellum. What a great store and staff!

It must be challenging to pigeon-hole a carpenter living on Nantucket. One cancels out the other.
