From today’s New York Times, “fairy circles” made by termites dot a belt of desert stretching all the way from Angola to Namibia in Africa.

Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.

Murals such as this are at odds with statistics showing that, despite American sanctions, and the American-led coup against a elected and popular prime minister, more Iranians feel positively about America than do Turks or Indians.

I am heading down the the heartland (aka Memphis) this weekend for a little RnR. No plans except to eat well, watch the Grizzlies win, and catch up with old friends. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

All life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from, one phrase— ‘I love you.’

The Rise of the Well Dressed Man
Guy Trebay had an interesting opinion piece in Wednesday’s New York Times “T” blog about the recent resurgence in men caring about the world of fashion (and, yes, I definitely include the #menswear community here).
“I’ve been to shows in Milan and sat next to N.B.A. All-Stars like Carmelo Anthony,” Dan Peres, the editor in chief of Details, said. “And when the show is over you can turn to him and say, ‘Hey, Carmelo, what did you think about the gladiator sandals Donatella Versace sent down the runway?’ ” Surely it’s a sign of some sort of cultural shift — the kind Broadway Joe might be proud to have set in motion — that, when Peres posed the question to Anthony, the 6-foot-8 Knicks forward responded with polite and knowledgeable interest rather than punching him out.
While I was down in South America a couple months ago, I picked up this great leather briefcase from ZH S.A.when I was in Buenos Aires. I’d been sitting on my hands for months when it came to purchasing a nice leather bag, and I looked at every option under the sun, including these.
After a few months of near daily use, I could not be happier with my purchase. Argentina has such a good reputation for their leather goods, and this bag does not disappoint!
