Sometimes you have the luck to see this beautiful and endangered species.
The Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross is a relatively small albatross, with a total length of 71–82 cm and a wingspan of 180–215 cm (1). It is slim; the bill is long and thin, with a comparatively narrow yellow band on the culmen. The Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross breeds on Tristan da Cunha Island, Nightingale Island, Middle Island, Stoltenhoff Island, Gough Island, and Inaccessible Island. The at-sea range includes the South Atlantic Ocean and offshore South Africa, with increasingly common records off the eastern coast of North America.

North Bridge, site of "the shot 'that heard 'round the world" in Concord, Massachusetts.
The North Bridge that visitors walk over today is actually a recent (summer of 2005) restoration of the last bridge built on this site in 1956. The 1956 bridge is the fifth bridge to occupy this hallowed ground since the time of the battle in 1775. The bridge that was there in 1775, the "battle bridge," was taken down in 1788.

Concord's North Bridge, where on April 19, 1775, colonial commanders ordered militia men to fire back at British troops for the first time. British colonial militia and minutemen killed two regular army soldiers and wounded eight more, one mortally, at the North Bridge Fight. This was the second battle of the day, after the brief fight at dawn on Lexington Common. In his 1837 poem, "Concord Hymn", thinker and author Ralph Waldo Emerson immortalized the North Bridge Fight as "the shot heard round the world". At this site also stands Daniel Chester French's well-known The Minute Man statue of 1875. Across the North Bridge, opposite The Minute Man statue is the Obelisk Monument. The Obelisk is believed to be the country's first memorial to its war casualties. Close by is the grave of the two regular army soldiers killed at the bridge.

This is by no means a Bookmaker toast.
It is a toast for book-makers, i.e. authors.
Toast with eggsalad, pickled cucumber, chives, Miguel Vergara Striploin from "my" local butchershop and Parmesan sauce on top.
Not bad for a lunch, home alone.
Korean-American Author Chang-rae Lee being interviewed as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival earlier today. I just finished reading his last novel, On Such a Full Sea, which is very interesting and only slightly dystopian. Recommended!
Chang-rae Lee talked quite a bit about his positive relationship with his mother, his amazing female heroine Fan who is an integral part of On Such a Full Sea and wanting to create a heroine for his daughters to love, growing up in Queens, NYC in the 1980s, trends now in terms of competitiveness in class in the US, and industry in China. He has a very calming voice as well as an intelligent one and I enjoyed hearing him.

I also saw Salman Rushdie before him but was too far away so only posted a screen shot from my phone on Instagram:
(Usually I have an all cats Instagram posting on Caturday so that's really something!) Rushdie was also great to see interviewed. He possesses such a great insight and humor sumultaneously. He made me laugh quite a bit and when I told him in person how much Ground Beneath Her Feet (my favorite novel of his) means to me, he acted as if that actually mattered, which is nice.
Also, not pictured, I had the delight to see Sarah Vowell as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival a week an a half ago at the Chicago Art Institute. She was quite hilarious as usual and had a great deal to say about modern art and politics. She also talked to me during the signing and said something like this,
"It's really cool the way the light from above hits your red hair in this certain way that you can't obviously see because you're not me sitting here looking at you." It was pretty funny. Overall, a really amazing Chicago Humantiies Lineup this time around!

Here’s another in my occasional series on books and book things – this time celebrating the joy of listening to classical music in the 1950s.
I first encountered the author, Martyn Goff, when I was a 14-year-old schoolboy. He owned The Ibis Bookshop in Banstead High Street, Surrey, which I visited from time to time.
To me, Goff was already a bit of a celebrity, thanks to this book – A Short Guide to Long Play which he displayed in the shop window in 1957. And inside, he had a record player on which he always played soothing classical music. The sub-title of the book is ‘How to listen to Music on and off the Record’, and the price is 7s 6d.
While in Banstead, Martyn Goff was to become much more of a celebrity when he published several novels, including The Plaster Fabric and The Youngest Director, dealing with homosexual relations, a matter barely spoken of in the 1950s when such activities were illegal and ‘permissiveness’ was 20 years away.
But back to the book in question here. It reads like a long lecture, but in the nicest sense, with lots of amusing asides. Martyn Goff discusses the differences between listening to long-playing records (remember them?) on a ‘Hi-Fi set-up, a ‘pre-war radiogram’ and an ‘E.A.R. portable, electric, 3-speed gramophone’. ‘When I bought mine’ he recalls, ‘the cost was 26 guineas. Purchase Tax increases have raised this figure to 28½ guineas and at the present rate of rising costs, it may be double that figure by the time these words are read.’ Sounds familiar…?
The book is a time-warp, but Goff also discusses in some detail the symphony, the overture, popular composers and many other subjects, all crammed into 125 pages. It’s knowledgeable stuff.
In due course Martyn Goff CBE became not only a well-known reviewer and broadcaster, but also chairman of the National Book League, Administrator of the Booker Prize (a position he held for 36 years) and chairman of Sotheran’s, Europe’s oldest antique and rare book dealer founded in 1761. The bookseller from Banstead became known as ‘the eminence grise of British publishing’ – and his rise and rise to the top of the literary tree all started in my home town.

Author Émile Zola once wrote, "We rushed off into the countryside to celebrate the joy of not having to listen to any more talk about politics", talking about reflection of France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. At the time Montmartre was very much the countryside, just a village and orchards, shops and this, one of two remaining windmills.
