Snare Breaker
My daughter just left, returning to her familiar sandy seas. She's grown so much. I saw so much of me in her, and I think she saw the same. Shared pain of lost love, fear of abandonment, anger and love entwined... the chaotic majesty and sharp delicacy of a wild rose bush. She's too young to know such things. Then again, aren't we all?
Maybe not. My tally of days and my visage understate the breadth of experiences my mind has taken in. I stand in awe as much as ever at you people, you humans. You are amazing and frightening in equal proportion. For better or worse, I'm becoming accustomed to it.
After having seen it with the ladies last night, I stopped at a theater to take in The Great Gatsby for the second time tonight on the way back from the airport. Effusion is all insufficient. This work embodies so many of the reserved words: masterwork... enthralling... perfection... awesome... amazing. I was pleased, but totally unsurprised to see Jay Z's Executive Producer credit. One of those rare works whose success or failure is a measure not of itself, but of the quality of society's taste and receptivity itself.

Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.
