At one point in A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW, the Count worries that 18 year-old Nina is so serious, she will miss out on the joys of youth. In turn, Marina assures the Count he needn’t worry because “Life will find her in time. For eventually, it finds us all.” Taken by this passage, @micahniebauer and the team at @southernpinesbrewing have released Eventually Life Finds Us All - a delicious New England IPA. #didntseethatcoming Thanks, Micah! 🤓🍺

Happy birthday to the great, and greatly-missed David Bowie, seen here at the Metropol Hotel in Moscow in 1976.

The whole family eagerly awaiting Act IV of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” It was a fidget-free five hours, which concluded with a “that was great” - from both teenagers!

In RULES OF CIVILITY Wallace Wolcott’s family exchanges Xmas gifts wrapped in white paper with a different colored ribbon for each family member. A fan from Oregon made this quilt. I always look forward to bringing it out for our bed in early December. (Note the long gift with the polka dot ribbon: it’s the Winchester rifle from Wallace to Katey.)

When I wrote this sentence in A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW, I did not foresee it landing here - in front of a 105-year-old tire shop on a corner in SF’s Tenderloin district (which is slotted for redevelopment). It’s sort of an apotheosis, actually. . . Repost thanks to @phniix

Tranquil light - the day after Thanksgiving, the day before the snowstorm.
