Most mornings I doom scroll, but today, we did the Sunday crossword puzzle in a book of old Sunday crosswords from the 1990s. I'm feeling much better today. Also, feeling like it's the 90s again, and I'm in my twenties. I keep saying things with too much confidence as I did then.

Now that I'm finished with Culturama for the year, I don't know what to do with my weekends. As a teenager, I took up juggling to impress girls. Maybe I'll get back into that.

Nothing I love more than wandering around the forest on a snowy morning just after dawn! Allegheny State Park is wonderful for silent trudging.

Among other things, HEAD V HEART by @ratpackslim is a discussion of how popular culture can be magic, how it can help those who love it and take it seriously through life’s most difficult times. Review by John Brantingham buff.ly/3LVQmKe
