another farewell

George Plimpton has died. The multitalented Plimpton was a journalist, a writer, a football player, a boxer, a trapeze artist, and an actor. His legacy, though, will unarguably be the Paris Review. I don’t think I’ll look forward to my rejections from them in quite the same way.

It’s been one of those weeks. I think I might take an early break today.
