I had no idea until I listened to Up First this morning. Felt like someone punched me in the kidney.

In my limited opinion, Roth was easily the greatest living American author. The few books and short stories of his I read were tremendous and difficult and rewarding. I still remember reading the opening to Goodbye Columbus and getting the same feeling I received after reading the opening to The Great Gatsby - that this was the work of a generational, peerless talent. We don't get many talents like Roth and honestly we probably deserve even fewer.

Continue to rest in peace, Alan Thicke!

Oh, Alan Thicke, I yearn and miss you every morning when I wake. You're body was an experience and your laugh, infectious. I want you in my dreams, but it doesn't happen as often as it should. Miss you, miss you real much

A poem for you, Alan:

In grief we represent frequent buyers of life.
In life we return what we bought for you in death.
I don't completely understand where you are, love
And I don't care to know, really.
Because in my heart you pump the pump that pumps my heart.
Miss you like I miss chowder.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
