scent.
and what exactly does 3am smell like?
i imagine a pungent blend of
stale liquor
smoke
24-hour diner grease
sweat
breath mints
and
marker ink from a phone number hastily scrawled onto a cocktail napkin?

black friday.
my black friday shopping companion
yes, he got some stares
yes, he was loud at times
yes, his lightsaber occasionally got caught on things
no, he is not my father
but overall
he was pretty well behaved
all things considered.

twin leaks.
WikiLeaks shows Clinton aide touting Lafayette coneys
Amid the excerpts from closed-door speeches by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to Wall Street executives and backroom discussions of political strategy comes a shout-out about a venerable Detroit restaurant.
It’s not every day that WikiLeaks reveals something as mundane as who ate where and what. But that’s just what emerged in the latest drop Friday of hacked emails from the anti-secrecy website that releases secret and classified information.
During a Michigan stop with Clinton in March that included Detroit and Flint, Clinton’s spokesman Nick Merrill offers his take on a local eatery in an email to campaign chairman John Podesta, which were hacked by WikiLeaks.
“On a personal note, I just had two Coney Island hot dogs at the famous Lafayette Coney Island next to the hotel. I highly recommend. Bring your defibrillator, or ask to borrow one from USSS (United States Secret Service),” he writes.
He’s not alone. Detroit coneys — Lafayette or next-door rival American Coney Island — which feature wieners with beanless chili sauce, onions and mustard, have drawn fans for decades. Some who leave the area or the state pine for them. Debate rages about the virtues of both.
Lafayette’s owner wasn’t available to bask in the attention, but other fans have weighed in in the past. “There’s only one hot dog stand in Detroit and that’s Lafayette Coney Island,” said a devoted fan in a Detroit News article.

organization.
to do list – style a:
play with the ponies 1.
pack the cars. 2.
go to bed 3.
get in the car to go on vacation 4.
do fun things 5.

a major contrast in approaches
both with the same desired outcome
two grandies
each with their own
style of list
and
way of getting ready
and
organizing things
to go on a trip.
—
to do list – style b:
(loose translation):
‘go around and around in a twisty circle and get some stuff done
and not some other stuff and then hide for a while
and eat something you find outside
and then get in the car to go on vacation and do fun things.’

(i am more of a ‘b-list style’ of organizer. what about you – a or b?)
