    As I write this, I’m reading a wonderful book. It’s called A ThreeDog Life. The author’s name is Abigail Thomas. It’s a memoir. I don’t usually read memoirs. Other people’s lives don’t interest me that much, I suppose. Does that sound selfish and terrible? I suppose it might. I’d like to say the reason is that I’m too busy living my own life. Raising a family. Worrying about the war in Ukraine. Worrying about what AI has in mind for us. I’d like to say that, but I’d be lying.

    Don’t ask me why, but I’ve become hopelessly addicted to a TV show called Alone. True enough, it’s not the most original idea. There are at least a dozen other shows like it. Survivor. Outlast. Running Wild With Bear Grylls. As these survival shows go, Alone feels more brutal. Raw. Real. You get the feeling that when that grizzly bear or mountain lion shows up in the middle of the night, a whole heapin’ helpin’ of hurt is about to shred that tent into a million weenie nylon filaments.

    In Tuscany, there’s a little restaurant called Casetta Magli. If you show up there when their doors open, expect the owner to tell you that the antipasti isn’t even close to being ready, but listen, why don’t you sit out on the deck and enjoy the view of the valley while you have a nice bottle of wine? And when you finally do order dinner, well, don’t expect it to come out in 20 minutes because at Casetta Magli, you’ll be lucky if it comes out in less than an hour. And here’s the cool part.
