Nice. I mean the whole thing, but this last line is perfection.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Love this letter written August 7, 1865, from a former slave to his former master re: the former master's invitation for the man to return back to the plantation with his family. As the blogger says, "one of the all-time great examples of the cheerful and elaborately polite 'screw you.'"
Oh man, that letter is amazing.

What a perfect ending.
I love salad! Then again, I tend to love salad more when it includes either feta cheese or avocado or--even better--both, so salad rarely seems like a viable way to minimize calories to me.
I'll be having salad for dinner tonight. No feta cheese, but plenty of avocado and bacon. Mmmmmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That letter is brilliant.
And I like salads fine, but to me a meal needs more fat and/or protein than I had in my lunch-from-home.

Yes, mmmmmm.
That's a great letter.

I love this blogger's occasional posts about long walks in Chicago. The latest is his ten-mile hike along 79th Street, through the heart of the South Side.
As one of the walkers says, the day ends up being a tribute to mom-and-pop stores.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And I like salads fine, but to me a meal needs more fat and/or protein than I had in my lunch-from-home.
That's the main thing for me too--I just realized I haven't actually had any protein to speak of today, because I forgot my Luna bar, so breakfast was a pluot.
