Three Tabs

I've had three tabs open on the browser on the tablet for a very long time now. Perhaps 5 if you want to include TSP forum and blogger dashboard tabs. But those two are regulars.

I just went back and re-read the other three. Probably so I can close them and move on.

They are good tabs.

Really good stories all pretty key to my core i guess. Music and food in simple terms.

More complexly is who and the writing.
First https://explorepartsunknown.com/bhutan/anthony-bourdain-darren-aronofsky/

Yeah - still gets me now... that one hurts, but am grateful for the confirmation about the choice I had just made before falling asleep and waking up to that news.

Second http://atwoodmagazine.com/ftbmk-frank-turner-interview-be-more-kind/

That interview is gold. Pure and simple. In the way I think Darren's piece on Tony is so real, Frank in this one much the same. And he's still here as a bonus, so many good bits in that interview. Not a short interview, but the best ones never are. I have read it twice before, skimmed it from start to finish just now, glancing through, touching down and reading a few fully...  esp if I'm going to be closing these once I hit publish here.

Third https://amp.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/books/joy-of-cooking

The title more than anything else, no? Beethoven is the composer I listened to completely from a full 3+ dozen vinyl record set of his works. Sonatas, concertos and symphonies. The 9th stuck with me. The violin concerto as well. But the book, always went to that first growing up. More approachable and simpler. Recipes were easy, they worked. A good place to start as a kid cooking. I got my own copy after i graduated college, a cheap printing of it. Eventually replaced with larger format, glossier, more complex books. Cook books after cook books. Ultimately the perfect size seem to be the Gourmet ones and the big Bittman ones. But this one has a longer history. Of course there was the 'cameo' in Julia and Julia, that film is a whole 'nother bit of an emotional side track but also tied into this tab I suppose.

that's it - time to close them and move on. Maybe I'll do a post for the tabs open on the phone browser. Some have been there for a while and I think maybe I haven't read them because it is maybe too small of a device to get into the words and read them?

For now, I'm going to go to bed. It is early. I am tired. No days off, going to work tomorrow, but maybe not the full day. Def not going to try and do a ride.

have a good weekend
