1. Last night I dreamed I was riding a train on the way to a work conference that was far away. After riding for a long time, we stopped near a mountain for lunch. When we returned from lunch, the conductor was standing outside of the train, scratching his head and looking confused. "This is taking longer than I thought it would," he said. I saw a map of the route we were taking, and it was long and winding, circuitous. The conductor said, "Someone else is going to have to drive. Someone who will get us there faster." Then an old woman showed up and ushered a bunch of kids onto the train.
2. This quote by e.e. cummings: "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
3. This song by Josh Ritter, which will be the cornerstone of my Fall 2010 mix.
