Greetings from here, where the three of us are still sick. \u00a0Brandon told me that he counted it up in the bathtub this morning, and he\u2019s now been sick for 27 days. I keep wanting to sit down and write a new post, but all that comes out is blah blah blah<\/i> mug of hot broth, blah blah blah<\/i> homemade vap-o-rub<\/a> that smells nice and feels good and maybe helps or maybe it\u2019s just the placebo effect, blah blah blah<\/i> sneeze sneeze cough. Illness makes me boring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Things that are more interesting than this post:<\/p>\n

The great\u00a0Rachel Roddy<\/a>\u00a0was featured in a three-part “cook residency”<\/a> over at\u00a0The Guardian<\/i><\/a>, and like everything she does, it\u2019s very much worth your time.<\/p>\n

The best days of my life, pretty much, are the days when, a) a new New Yorker<\/i> arrives, and b)\u00a0Patricia Marx<\/a> has a piece in it. “Pets Allowed”<\/a> is perfect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This isn\u2019t my first mention of Anna Sale\u2019s wonderful podcast Death, Sex & Money<\/a>, and for good reason. Please, do yourself a big big favor and listen to her recent interviews with actor Ellen Burstyn<\/a> and author\u00a0James McBride<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This piece on our cultural obsession with food and identity<\/a> gave me pause – and, I should add, I think John Lanchester totally nails it. (Also, his piece on the way we talk about money<\/a> is BRILLIANT.)<\/p>\n

I had no idea what went into becoming a London cabbie, and I also didn\u2019t know that I would much care, but this is fascinating<\/a>. Long, yes, and fascinating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I had never heard of Theo Jansen before this past Sunday\u2019s story<\/a> in the New York Times Magazine<\/i>, but by the time I was halfway through the article, I was feverishly Googling and mumbling aloud Wow wow wow.<\/i>\u00a0 Then I showed it all to Brandon, and he went Wow wow wow<\/i>\u00a0too.\u00a0<\/i>I mean, watch\u00a0this<\/a>, and look at\u00a0this<\/a>. I mean!<\/p>\n

Last but never least, my friend Brian came to visit in late August. It was his first time meeting June, and the weather could not have been better, and he captured it all so well<\/a>. Come back soon, BWF.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping to be back here with a little gift guide this weekend. Until then: hey, if you have any interesting reads, or anything, please chip in! \u00a0Leave a comment! \u00a0And be well, everybody.<\/p>\n

P.S. Update:<\/i> Several of you have written with concerns about our illness, and I want to assure you that we are being well cared for by a medical doctor – and an acupunturist and Chinese herbalist, too. It seems that we\u2019ve been dealing with back-to-back viruses, and there\u2019s little to be done for that. Thank you.<\/p>\n
