Each morning after eating my cereal and drinking coffee I read a paper edition of the New York Times. Lately I realize that reading the newspaper is not a distraction but an expansion of my life.  I am reminded that life contains a swirl of living not just my direct experiences. It is good to put my experiences into a bigger perspective.

I shudder when I am told, but everyone is going to die.  I hear the unspoken message, so what is the big deal.  Well, the big deal is that I see the train coming down the track at me.

Watched the first episode of season two of SLOW HORSES on apple tv last night.  As usual, with this complicated narrative it is hard to know what is happening.  I trust that my mind will be able to sort out the characters as I keep watching.  One of my favorite shows.

Still, I am immersed in THE INK BLACK HEART, I haven’t given up.  I spend hours reading this book and now am on page 350, 550 pages to go.
