Specificity = Everything

A week on from the St. Patrick's Day recovery.  A grand one this year, from the Flight of the Conchords in the early line-up, the Flight of GoT scotches, multiple rounds of Wild Mountain Thyme, the newly loved Come by the Hills, the ridiculousness of Stayner's and Celtic in the missing hours, and a final return to the starting post.  A day in full, as per grand tradition.

Now a new week, the bracket mostly busted, a newly rendered playlist of hopes and dreams sent off as you wait for the summertime a' coming.  Glorious catch-up, the last word, and a rest in the Hillside basement amidst ancient blankets and the start of a new soundtrack for sailing season #9.  With plans made for the Bluejays opening weekend, re-arrangements made for the flu-ridden banker and minister and Greek basement scheming all.

News of Barr's Mueller characterization over the weekend unsurprising, and the framing of it as vindication predictably disappointing.  Juxtapose that with the magic of Jan's Zambezi sunset video uploaded from Lusaka today, set to Dope Lemon's perfect soundtrack instantly downloaded.  Or the Gal Costa of Friday night, such beauty-power-history in the translated lyrics.  The difference in attitude of what you might yet chronicle.

That application remains in abeyance, even as optimism remains strong.  The decision needs to be made on whether the 2020 election should be the focus or only a minor piece.  20 + 20 = 40 is also true, and maybe there is a way to do an Access All Areas (who is owed credit for the title), an Around the Day in Eighty Worlds.  A type of Traveler's Almanac written retrospectively, for the specific year or otherwise.  Let the politics play a background role, but not the overarching one. 

I think that is right.  The obligation to cover everything at once needs to be dispensed with, so the doors of opportunity can be kicked open in the seeking out of all the beauty in randomness beyond it.  Randomness already accumulated that was meant to be repurposed, and randomness yet to come that will fill in the blanks.  All non-fiction and all true and all layered just so.

That seems the kind of book that would be good to write.  Which flows from left to right, but also right to left and in which you can jump around.  Think more on it.  The articulation of the idea remains important.
