Careless People

Finished this on my flight to SNA this morning. I learned a lot and sadly so much of what was shared is not surprising about the reckless and often abhorrent behavior of wealthy & powerful people. I was moved to tears at the story of the birth of SWW’s child. I was disgusted to learn of the reprehensible behavior of several FB execs like Zuck, Sheryl “lean in” Sandberg and many others in FB’s C-suite. It’s a one sided story but sadly as the recent hot mic incident suggests, it’s probably pretty accurate.

Before We Forget Kindness

This book “found me” on a visit to a bookstore in Paris last month. I was about 25k steps into the day and took a welcome break in a comfortable reading room where this book was sitting on an adjacent table. The title piqued my interest so I picked it up and bought it and read it in one sitting on the flight home. It was sometimes challenging to follow and it has a diagram on the first couple pages of all of the characters and their respective relationships and affectations (both helpful and a fair warning). The juice is worth the squeeze here, better, the beans are worth the grind as the reward was a deeply emotional experience.

Little Cloud Sky

I bought a couple of these little guys several years ago for Ryan & Myself. What a delight it was to come up on this display at the Seattle Art Museum.
