Mid-November Musings

Today I got an e-mail saying that my jury duty has been canceled. Excellent news! I’ve managed to avoid jury duty my entire life so far. Do you think Fate will punish me someday by putting me on the jury of one of those awful weeks-long trials? Seems likely, but until then, hooray!
What I resent most right now is how everyone’s acting as if what’s happening in America is perfectly normal. We veered past normal years ago and have been driving deep into a bizarro version of reality, but you’d hardly know it sometimes from reading the news. (Speaking of the news, I’m now a reader of The Boston Globe. They offered me digital access for 26 months at $1. How could I say no to that?)
I’ve been listening to Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring on YouTube. The video is great. So are the comments on it. I recommend both.
