Death or Glory

Heading out the door now for the Rhode Island scooter rally, hosted by Death or Glory SC. We’re both still scooterless now, so we’ll have to drink twice as much.

It should be a fun time, with some nice people… even if certain scooterist friends aren’t coming. But, if you’ve got to have an excuse, the ole’ snip snip is a valid one. (Hope it went well, J-man…)

Anyway, see you all on Sunday.

Beach

Marci was in town for a job interview at Harvard, so we took wednesday off from work, and headed for the beach in Gloucester.

So much less crowded on weekdays…

Blink

Having just finished Tipping Point, I dug into a couple
hundred pages of Malcolm Gladwell’s new book, Blink

…and, we enjoyed a big jug of homemade Sangria.

Ebert & Roeper Podcast

Seems like Apple’s deal with Disney to leverage content into Podcasts is building—I saw today that you can subscribe to the Ebert & Roeper (iTunes link) podcast.

C’mon NPR, let’s get Fresh Air and On Point on board.

John Doe Mexican

I received a message from our friend Karla today, about what her boyfriend Steve is up to this summer. He’s a public-school teacher, and is currently working to produce a documentary titled John Doe: Mexican, on border crossers in the Southwest.

Sounds like an interesting project, which he will be blogging about:

bq.. John Doe Mexican is an hour-long documentary that captures the struggle to value human life, even in death.

The dead have no names here. For Mexican border crossers, Southern Arizona’s Sonoran desert is an unforgiving and, all too often, murderous landscape. John Doe Mexican follows a handful of people who have made it their business to end these desert deaths and to name John Doe.

p. Karla said that he is looking for feedback and questions, so feel free to leave a comment on his “blog”:http://www.circa1973.net/JDMMovie.
