You don’t need to know a thing about quantum entanglement, wherein one atom can affect another even though they are separated by tremendous distance, to have some sense that our lives are always larger than the physical limitations within which they occur. We exist apart from our existences, you might say, are connected to the world and to other people in ways we will never be able to fully articulate or understand—and we assert our iron wills and ravenous hungers at our own peril. There is such a thing as a collective unconscious. There is such a thing as a spirit of place, and it reaches beyond geography. And poetry, which is a kind of quantum entanglement in language, is not simply a way of helping us to recognize the relations we have with people and places, but a means of preserving and protecting those relations.

The recipe for the Faulkner-inspired drink makes our head hurt.
10 Great Novels and the Cocktails You Should Pair Them With
Moby-Dick
Salty Dog
3 ounces vodka
6 ounces fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
salt to rim glass
lime wedgesNot only will you feel as though the salt spray is hitting your face with every sip, but you can rest assured that your reading will not be interrupted by bouts of scurvy. And that’s very important for long sea voyages, you know.
I know what I’m doing this weekend.
A perfect blend.

Some of our recent food adventures. All the veggies involved here are from our farm share from our CSA (http://thefoodproject.org). My favorite might be that stuffed cabbage, but the wild salmon is always so good. Yummy!

We took a trip to Maine over Labor day. Hung around York Beach, grilled some burgers, climbed (drove) up a mountain, and had an overall amazing and relaxing time.
