Blogging note …

I must be out and about again. It looks to be a pretty nice day, and I intend to stroll about town, like a good flâneur, window shop, maybe even buy some stuff, sit in a park, and so on. After all, I am retired.
Speaking of flâneurs, here this: In Praise of the Flâneur.

Thanks to Open City and Taipei, I feel encouraged to pursue flânerie; I’m walking more, finding myself in secondhand stores or by the pier, in tea houses and dive bars—these little things do seem to matter, not least as an effective antidote to artificial busyness and its accompanying stress.
