The 131st MacroParentheticals dispatch, in which my good friend Uziel Colón subjects himself to being my first guest on THE GROUND LOOP, my newsletter-exclusive Proust-meets-Lipton-meets-me five-question grilling of friends, inspirations, and other assorted humans, will be arriving in subscribers' inboxes in +/- 45 minutes. Also: THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE is a delight.

The weeds upon the hill have been weedeaten and, unlike yesterday, no lifting of riding lawnmowers was required / leaving to play in the poison ivy patch (seems to be a thing this week; haven't gotten it yet), I gave portable Switch RDR a go and LOVED it. Charlie the dog and I took out a ne'er-do-well before he could abscond with a horse at MacFarlane Ranch / finished the edit of the first GROUND LOOP mini-interview, premiering in Sunday's newsletter. Think I enjoy the format / grilled hot dogs await.
