Bejewled Chess
When the bejeweled people required my birthdate in order to continue playing, I went to the AppStore and almost cried, looking for some other way to waste my time.
I had not played chess since I was 12 or 13 years old. I downloaded a game and won the very first match at level one in less than a half hour.
White wins.
So much winning.

Ultra-processed people
It's a food science book. I will not finish it. I will look for
quotes, reviews, and youtube of Chris Van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People.
I spit these mashed potatoes out after the first forking. Glack. AND THEN I found the big label on the bottom of the package.
Mashed potatoes ... right!

Just be here with me
Just be here with me Signed: The moon. The stars. Your still-hot-cup-of-coffee. Your daughter. Your son. Your spouse. Your heart. The green grass. The wild flowers. The waters you long to swim in. The color yellow. The color blue. Your favorite poem. Your favorite blanket. The wind in your hair. The waves on the ocean. The mountain air. Your dad. Your mom. The rain. The ice-cream cone. The butter sizzling with garlic in the frying pan. The grocery clerk with sad, kind eyes. Postcards waiting to be sent. The city squirrel. The country squirrel. Jupiter. The photo album. Your grandmother's rosary. Your favorite song. Ink and paper. Your best friend. The money in your wallet. The fork in your hand. Brushes and paint. Downward Facing Dog. The color turquoise. The almost invisible shade of pink. God. The skyline. The earth beneath your feet. A hammock. The shade of a giant tree. This moment, right here, now. Your bones. Your belly laugh. Your breath. Your breath. Your breath. Zoupa Musings is free today. But if you enjoyed this post, you can tell Zoupa Musings that their writing is valuable by pledging a future subscription.
