    Another good one. Thanks.

  2. The iTunes link does not work for me. It didn’t work on the first episode either. Not sure if your podcasts are on the iTunes app or not but just letting you all know.

    1. Haven’t yet placed the podcast on iTunes, and not sure yet if I will.

  3. “Adult” coloring books are in fact $2.99 at Wal-Mart now, which I expect to kill the trend dead at the upper end of the social strata.

  4. Regarding the infantalization and the lethality of it, David Foster Wallace wrote a very good travel piece for Harpers on Cruiseliners. With the traditional Wallacian twist, he spends the time talking about how the gentle rocking of the ship is similar to being adrift in a womb. He describes the fanatically helpful staff as being parental almost. He also notes the prevalence of suicide during cruises, noting the tendency of people to just…..drop off the ship. The ultimate Benjamin Button move of returning to the root.
