Closing out this Monday with a poetry party! Best way to end a Monday if you ask me. This tiny taste is from "Half Past a Monkey’s Ass", one of two poems by Jason Ryberg that you can find in our 91st edition. Check them out on Sunday, 11/30!

Well, the lip pencil didn't work.
How do people keep their lipstick on, dang it? One drink of coffee and it's all over the rim.

I think I figured out why so many Midwesterners hate traffic circles: the implication we ever made a full stop at an intersection in the first place.

Anybody create a style in Word and as soon as you hit bullets or anything that isn't ENTER and everything goes wonky? Or when you try to go back to paragraphs the tab is wherever Word feels like putting it?

Slowly but surely, word of mouth for Train Dreams is spreading. Unlike many other films this prestige movie season, it returns to my thoughts regularly. It's a grower!
Train Dreams is a remarkable drama, one that will languish on Netflix because its inexorable, meditative power is not suited to streaming. Go see it in theaters while you can.
Train Dreams Is About the Kind of Man Who Rarely Gets the Epic Treatment
In this moving adaptation of Denis Johnson’s novella, the filmmakers never strike a false note in a logger’s quiet search for meaning and joy.
