A quotation from Homer

Few match their fathers. Any tongue can tell
The more are worse: yea, almost none their sires excel.
 
[παῦροι γάρ τοι παῖδες ὁμοῖοι πατρὶ πέλονται,
οἱ πλέονες κακίους, παῦροι δέ τε πατρὸς ἀρείους.]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 2, l. 276ff (2.276) [Athena to Telemachus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Worsley (1861), st. 37]

HOT SAUCE APOCALYPSE

Yesterday the lunch place had run out of hot sauce.

In Australia, this is barely news.

Aussies don’t really do hot sauce.

But some of us do.

Some of us have built whole fragile emotional ecosystems around a few drops of chilli on lunch.

I agreed to sweet chilli sauce instead, because apparently I am very mature.

But I did register my disappointment with the manageress.

Politely.

Firmly.

Historically.

Then I went for my walk.

Then I did my breathwork.

Then I noticed the day still had a slight dent in it.

This caught me off guard.

I had only just been saying that everything is perfect all the time now.

Apparently, “everything” includes the lunch place running out of hot sauce and me quietly wanting the owner told so this national disgrace never happens again.

That is how the ego works.

It does not just want lunch.

It wants justice.

And there it was.

Not a catastrophe.

Not a spiritual failure.

Just a tiny place where preference had turned into grievance.

The hot sauce was missing.

The peace was not.

I had simply misplaced it for a moment under the sweet chilli sauce.

Experience Ruined My Optimism
What’s a lesson that took you far too long to learn? The lesson that took me way too long to learn wasn’t how to fix a car, pay bills, or survive adulthood without a manual. It was this: never completely trust anyone. That sounds harsh, but life has a way of sand

I guess it's goodbye to another favorite hangout; Black Snake Brewing in Staatsburg New York. It was a great place to enjoy a beer and relax out in the country. I knew the property was for sale. They stopped posting on social media, the signs are down and things are looking a desolate on a recent joyride. I guess we have to look for someplace else. #HudsonValley #disappointment

So sehr ich ihn in früheren Jahren bewundert habe, so sehr enttäuscht er mich jetzt. Noch schlimmer als der Bundeskanzler, der sich als Eier-Lecker-Misogyno-Chauvinist-sans-Cœur entpuppt hat – der immerhin noch sagte: „Ich bin nicht rassistisch, fragt mal eure Töchter!“ (Als ob er bei Frauen, besonders jungen, jemals eine Meinung und nicht nur Bestätigung gesucht hätte.)
