I have to think of something to say, I told myself. Something interesting and perhaps provocative. I have to think hard. Should I talk about social justice. Naw, that's been done. How to turn the world up side down. The world's a globe. It turns up side down every twenty-four hours. How to make your life better. Read a good book. Spend time with family and friends. Have a laugh. Hit a baseball. Look at a lovely painting. Learn a few words of another language. Find pieces of joy no matter how bad things are. Ice cream is always good no matter the weather. Hot chocolate is always good late at night, but only in winter. Old movies are the best. Critics don't know everything. Tah tah for now.
