The current price for romaine lettuce where I live is about $5.50 a head, and iceberg lettuce is close behind at $5.00. For this amount of money, it simply makes no sense to buy lettuce until things get reasonable again. Thankfully, napa cabbage is a good alternative that costs about half as much as lettuce and is nutritionally comparable. It is also better value for money, because half a head of napa will easily make a salad for six, and it keeps longer in the fridge!

Is there more to Monty Python movies than a pastiche of loony sketches? "Life of Brian" seemed to be their most ambitious attempt to make a movie with a coherent story and theme -- in this case, ridiculing the notion of organized religion. The setup is that a fictional Jew, Brian Cohen, is born in the manger next to Jesus' and ends up living a parallel life in which he is mistaken for the messiah, vexed by a horde of worshipers and eventually strung up by the Romans for his trouble.

I was going to on a hike this afternoon with my old pal Jim James but our windows of availability didn’t line up so instead I’m here writing this…inspired by a missed catch-up with an old bandmate. A few days ago I was reminded that this year is the 10 year anniversary of The New Basement Tapes’ album Lost On The River. If all that came out of it was a few credited co-writes that say “Taylor Goldsmith and Bob Dylan” on a vinyl insert, it would be one of the greatest experiences of my life.

On May 28th, Ryan and I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. Time has wings, I’m convinced. We’ve been together for ten years in total, and it’s wild to see how far we’ve come together. How much we’ve grown as individuals and as a couple has shaped how we show up in the world, parent our children, and choose to stand in our love for one another. It’s amazing to me that all these years later, we continue to find ways to deepen our friendship and love for one another.
