A River Runs Through It

Dear Jessie:

As the moon lingers a moment over the bitterroots before its descent into the invisible, my mind is filled with song. I find I am humming, softly, not to the music, but to something else. Someplace else.

A place remembered.

A field of grass where no one seemed to have been, except for the deer. And the memory is strengthened by the memory of you - dancing in my awkward arms.

A River Runs Through It, by Norman Maclean

Library Trip

Finally joined the library, the new reading list looks like this:



“Great Fortune: The Epic of Rockefeller Center” (Daniel Okrent)



“Dereliction of Duty : Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam” (H. R. McMaster)



“Chain of Command : The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib (P.S.)” (Seymour M. Hersh)



“Hunting Down Saddam : The Inside Story of the Search and Capture” (Robin Moore)



“Rumsfeld’s War: The Untold Story of America’s Anti-Terrorist Commander” (Rowan Scarborough)

One reason I join libraries is so that I can read books from people or institutions that I refuse to give money to.. like Seymour Hersh. I refuse to fund this bastard, but I do want to know what he’s saying.
