what a performance

haven’t been into a podcast this much since the Serial days. the story behind Keiko, the whale in Free Willy.

an evocative, beautiful piece of writing about new york city written just after 9/11. recommended by Andy Weissman.

What I quickly realized is how many yellow blazers there are in the world and that at many times in my life, I too have been a yellow blazer—opting for easier but less authentic and less interesting routes. The podcast is part of a portfolio of things that I put in place in my life to try to avoid being a yellow blazer, to instead push myself to be more like a blue blazer, exploring anywhere I can.
