diddle diddle dumpling

It’s a debate as old as humankind. It has destroyed friendships and families and led to the collapse of empires, to the extinction of civilizations. Sock shoe sock shoe or sock sock shoe shoe? I wasn’t sure which side I was on because I never paid attention, so I checked. This morning I put on my left sock and then pulled on and laced my right shoe. But I realized my error immediately and so pulled off the sock. Then I went to the kitchen for more coffee and sat down here to type up my results: I walk funny.

So Samuel Beckett is living in New Orleans and restricting himself to 100 words! Your old accomplice Dave O'Meara here. I want to invite you to, well, to this: https://davidbrendanomeara.substack.com/p/serial-podcast-begins-december-1 Or here: https://davidbrendanomeara.substack.com/p/my-way-to-canossa-the-origin The episodes range from about 4 and half minutes long to almost 27 minutes long, with a median of about 7 minutes. I don't mind how it sounds at 1.25 speed, but of course I think normal speed is the best, given, you know, the rich complex emotions of the piece.
