  1. it is; it is

    you may ask ‘is it that easy’,
    ‘is it that dangerous’,
    ‘is it that difficult’, you
    may ask an older brother
    or a friend from years past;
    you may ask yourself, now,
    then,
    later, you
    will find the answers shocking
    when all is revealed at last;
    it is exactly as it is;
    terrible and leisurely,
    and nothing more.

  6. I just finished reading Math's for Knitters by Kate Atherley.

    I had a good look at it, and it looks like a great resource for future knitting projects.

  11. And since I'm already bombing you with #grandma stories, here's a last one, we touched in the last recording of 26 March 2023 as well: The time, she got her reading aid.

    I had started managing my "projects" using #GettingThingsDone a few months ago, which made me take her to #Solothurn, the home of our (very likely) ancestor, the painter #FrankBuchser wikitree.com/wiki/Buchser-5 . We stood overnight. I met with some Swiss #Wikipedia folks in the evening. One of them, who was from Solothurn and knew about our interest in the painter joined us for a bit of sightseeing on the next day. He told us about his grandpa and how happy that one was with his electronic reading aid (basically a real-time scanner with a vertically mounted flat-screen monitor and optional voice output).

    Grandma also was interested, so I declared it my new "project" and organized a visit from of that company at grandma to bring and show her the device. She was a bit overwhelmed, but gave it a chance.

    The next day she nearly starved, because she forgot to cook. After years of not being able to read a thing anymore, she couldn't stop. The whole thing brought back so much quality of life. It cost "a few" thousand Euros and my aunt put of the question if that really still is worth it. Of course it was. She had it for over a decade!

  21. Barely starting with "The Practice. Shipping Creative Work" by Seth Godin and I already have a great quote.
    "Being creative is a choice and creativity is contagious."

  26. @perkinsy Whistler is truly an uplifting book of reconnection, unpacking trauma, celebrating kindness and saving lives. Patchett's characters are interesting and so human. Thanks for sharing this article.

  36. A quotation from Montesquieu

    To delight in reading is to trade life’s dreary moments for moments of pure joy.
     
    [Aimer à lire, c’est faire un échange des heures d’ennui que l’lon doit avoir en sa vie contre des heures délicieuses.]

    Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689–1755) French political philosopher
    Pensées Diverses [Assorted Thoughts], # 1632 / 1143 (1720-1755) [ed. Guterman (1963)]
