Ignore the title indeed, which I did not say (nor do I believe). The conversation itself, though, I enjoyed a lot.

Ah, thanks Jeff! And I was truly in the very best of hands with Ross; a brilliant writer, thinker & interlocutor — and all of it with a smile on his face

That interview with David was one of the special ones — as was the Powells conversation with @ferrisjabr.bsky.social.
All in all a fabulous day, followed by a run up (and down) Dog Mountain in the Columbia Gorge the next morning. Thanks for gently setting me right on Tyndall’s nationality!

Amazing to hear about the riverside open mic! Try Raymond Carver’s late poem, “Where water comes together with other water”.
