On 7 things from last week (7/24/23)

  1. A new deck. Over the past eight days, I’ve embarked—in the good company and far more capable and qualified hands of my father in law—on a major deck renovation. Wish me luck!
  2. The joy of a dumpster.
  3. Enlightened (Season 1). Excited to have dug up this gem of a show, co-created by Mike White and Laura Dern.
  4. Fire of Love. This documentary about French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft is one of the loveliest things I’ve seen in some time.
  5. Summer illness. There’s nothing sillier.
  6. 1988 (Lori McKenna). Few things more exiting to me than a new album from one of the great living songwriters.
  7. Sunscreen. After eight days working out in the sun, I am—incredibly—not burned.
