Gioia!

Gioia! Bisognerebbe dire le stesse cose, un poco trite, sulle feste che di religioso hanno poco o nulla e che, in tempi di primavera, ricordano soprattutto riti di fertilità. Fa ridere e mette allegria vedere tutti che si accalcano, sbuffano, gridano “Gioia! Gioia!” e la povera statua, appollaiata sulla “vara” che viene fatta girare, inclinata, quasi tocca terra e di nuovo gira… E poi alla fine mi ricordo di mio nonno, che quando andavo a trovarlo era seduto su un muro a controllare il lavoro e che quando mi vedeva mi diceva “Beddu, Gioia”. E poi mi diceva – bellissima cosa che dicono i nonni ai nipoti, di solito – “Ciamma” (Fiamma).

Bad Chili

“Life’s like a bowl of chili in a strange cafe. Sometimes it’s pretty spicy and tasty. Other times, it tastes like shit.” Jim Bob Luke.
JRL spots a dark as usual story (well, a little darker than usual ) definitely turn on the side where chili isn’t that spicy and tasty… As usual, Lansdale is simply great.

Indeed Tuck’s right. Now hard times are coming. This means – at least - you’ve to lead or follow, as in good times, but one simple thing: you shall not have any rest. Less or no time for your family, no time for your hobbies, no time to think other than planning and doing things. Do we have to change these times ? Too difficult to bet on. At least we’ve tho change the way we are looking at them. Definitely. We need to stay in the forest, it’s in our DNA, but we cannot afford the forest driving the cruise of our lives.
