Lenslinger finds himself filming "an ashy, abstract landscape. Less than eight hours earlier, it had been a thriving country diner, a welcome oasis between Stokesdale and Walkertown.

And on the subject of Dr. Weinberger...having finally finished The Baroque Cycle, my lunch (re)reading of late has been Small Pieces Loosely Joined. When I don't have a meeting or another obligation, I sit at the bar at Sushi 101 and savor a few pages along with my miso soup and spicy tuna bowl, and it makes me feel healthy in body and mind. 7:56:35 AM    comment []
