Macaroni
It’s Saturday. You read the New York Times Sunday Book Reviews while drinking your coffee. You always do that first on Saturday.
For the rest of the day, you’d like to write an ode to a friend and confidant. Also, you want to read the history of great cities, some economics, and a few analytic philosophy papers about the mind.
You crave macaroni smothered in Velveeta cheese. Yes, that’ll be good to eat while watching the football game this afternoon. Your mind will swim in the toxic chemicals you’ve ingested while watching the football game. Playing poker tonight will be the cure.
You are so lazy and stupid. It’s Saturday and you don’t mind. Any pleasure you pick will come wrapped in guilt, yet guilt easily torn, crumpled, and cast aside.

Ah, macaroni - pure comfort food. I can almost taste it too. MMmmmm good. Perfect food for a lazy Saturday. Enjoy!
Hi Lynn
Nice to get your note today. Thanks.
Have you heard of the new book "The Proust Project"
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux) edited by Andre Aciman?
"...28 distinguished writers choose their favorite sections of "In Search of Lost Time" and tell us why they find these pssages so resonant and meaningful...a little like experiencing one of the world's greatest books in the company of the world's most charming and eloquent reading group." (Excerpt from a book review).
It sounds interesting doesn't it? I have it on order at the library and look forward to getting it in time to read over the holidays.
Hi Lynn
Just a note to say hello and let you know that I am thinking about you and wondering how you are doing.
