When I went to Walmart for candy last month, I could not turn away from the lights that had translucent skeletons dangling from the bulbs, so I had Halloween lights for the first time. And they’re still up because they’re so great.

I loved this this morning: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/nyregion/nyc-cobblestone-streets.html

The tab has been open all day and I’ve watched the opening video sequence probably 20 times by now, and what sounded like a proverb kept coming to mind, about loving even stones. Nothing turned up on Google so I finally went into my office this evening where I knew I had saved the phrase that I have been trying to remember all day. I save my doodles and various odds and ends, and my favorites from the zen calendar. I try to shuffle forward the next piece of paper every day, like the next card in a deck. It was right on top.
