It Was Just a Pat on the Back!

One person’s gesture of concern is a colleague’s cause for alarm.

Without consent it is assault.

Love Means Never Having to Say … Anything

A relationship between a young man and woman with similar illnesses presents unusual challenges. For starters, he can’t speak.

Liking the concept does not make the details work.
The story continues to comfort me.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

They Were in Love. They Were the Last to Know.

Friends of Jean Kim and Bryan Woo sensed a special connection between the two, but it took years before the couple began a romance.

I never got a better offer.

I Also Went to the Royal Wedding

And all I got was a devastating reminder of my own insignificance.

"And then, much more quickly than it began, it was over. The police could eat ice cream again, and did. A trio of elderly Brits speculated about whether the couple would have sex before that evening’s private reception. The crowd, which, moments before, had sung a proud pledge to the monarch, dropped their plastic flags on the ground and abandoned them. The day was too fine to waste on ceremony."

Tassi the Goat Gives Birth to Goat Twins During Goat Yoga

Surprise!

"Goat yoga did not spring from some Burning Man brainstorm. It was born at a children's birthday party in Albany, Ore., at the home of Lainey Morse, who had between six and eight pet goats at the time. One of the parents in attendance, Heather Davis, was a yoga instructor. Watching the kids (yes) cavort, she had a eureka moment: Why not combine goats and yoga? To be clear, it is really as simple as it sounds. You do yoga. There are goats around. End of story."

Poo is an unavoidable result of digestion.
People must deal with it.

10 Great Titles Expiring From Netflix in June

Every month, Netflix loses a handful of great movies and TV series, and June is no exception. These are the ones we’re most sorry to see go.

Copyright law must be reformed.
Works must be allowed to default to the public domain.
Civilization depends on it.

Intellectual property exists to encourage the creation of novel work.  It is inherently monopolistic.
It prevents competition among publishers.

Performance should be protected from counterfeiting.

Publication is a performance.

A performance on resale defaults to the public domain.
Digital copying exists. 
Digital copying destroys copyright.
I don't see a way to do the accounting.

Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz and Their Mutual Friend

In 1988, Mr. Kravitz moved one floor below Michael Goldstein’s apartment in SoHo. Soon, the former music publicist, who had worked closely with Jimi Hendrix, would become a mentor and father figure to Mr. Kravitz.

Sales frightened me.
