Monday Morning Memo



“We named this shirt after a guy who used to work in our office. You know the type, worked nights, Saturdays and Sundays. A vice-president by the age of twenty-eight. Then one day he just snapped. Poor Henry, I guess the growth got him. Last we heard he was living off 20-inch trout from the stream outside his window. This is the shirt he was wearing the day he decamped. Henry’s shirt. The softest, cushiest shirt you’ll ever escape in.”

– a product description remembered from a clothing catalog whose name I don’t remember. Was it Coldwater Creek? – Roy H. Williams

Random Quote:

“In this case we’re dealing with a Person whom fortune has gifted generously, but who has entirely failed to use their potential. Such People are bright and intelligent, but don’t apply themselves to their studies… This Venus induces a strange kind of laziness – lifetime opportunities are missed, because you overslept, because you didn’t feel like going, because you were late, because you were neglectful. It’s a tendency to be sybaritic, to live in a state of mild semiconsciousness, to fritter your life away on petty pleasures, to dislike effort and be devoid of any penchant for competition. Long mornings, unopened letters, things put off for later, abandoned projects. A dislike of any authority and a refusal to submit to it, going your own way in a taciturn, idle manner. You could say such people are of no use at all.”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 227-228, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
