1. My ten o'clock WR 115 class has some students who like to discuss things and our discussion about value-based vs. physical, feel-good happiness was really good.
2. After I taught my classes, I stopped in at the First National Taphouse for a couple of splendid $2.00 beef brisket tacos and a pint of one of my favorite beers, Firestone DBA.
3. My mid-afternoon snack was made even more enjoyable by Hilton Als'
review in a recent issue of *The New Yorker* of a Broadway production of "The Glass Menagerie" featuring
Cherry Jones as Amanda. I appreciated and enjoyed his review of the
performance more than I admired his discussion of Tennesee Williams and
his general comments about "The Glass Menagerie", which he described as
depthless. I experience it as deep, both emotionally and
intellectually, as an exploration of family, memory, abandonment, and
the American restless desire to break out, to be free.
