Lifetime Piling Up

Not much blogging going on this past week. It’s been yet another case of Lifetime Piling Up, as the Talking Heads posthumously put it. There are a number of themes I’d like to write about in the next few weeks, including the retirement of Patrick Ewing’s jersey at Madison Square Garden, Ron Rosenbaum’s recent NY Observer article on the legacy of James Jesus Angleton, the ongoing process of publishing Paul West’s new book, and the inadequacies of Don DeLillo’s Underworld (I said I’d give it a shot, but I can’t imagine how I’ll make it through the thing; and I actually read Infinite Jest!). I hope to write up a bunch of these themes soon. So check back. At the very least, I’ll try to write up my embarrassing celebrity encounter stories . . .
