There was a strange melodic clinking coming out of out wineglass cabinet, and we investigated it, and then I thought that my father would have written such a wonderful short story in the Borges style about it but he’s no longer around. Not a day passes by that I don’t feel his absence acutely.

I don’t know, it’s weird. N says that the wineglasses were arranged just so that when I turned on the dryer all the way in the laundry room, that made the glasses clink. Some weird sciency stuff.

Also unrelated, Fuentes’s show on the tucker-cuckabee interview was great.

Dude. This is brilliant. I totally loved it. What a gift in such a difficult day!
It’s clearly inspired by Borges’s worldview but lacks his pretentiousness and mawkishness. ❤️❤️❤️
