I recently had a chance to speak with Epik High’s Tablo for a second time, which is truly an amazing opportunity. Those who have been following the Korean music industry regard Epik High as one of the pioneers of Korean hip-hop. In fact, members of BTS, Seventeen and many others have listed them as influences in their music. Perhaps I will write about this some more in the future, but I can share that Canadian media has not fully embraced K-pop when it comes to coverage.

“Lots of mountain lion tracks so a little unnerving.” “**Warning** This IS mountain lion country. If you’re truly hiking and exploring, you WILL see fresh tracks. You should be carrying a firearm with you and keeping your head on a swivel, stopping, listening, and watching at all times.” *(I corrected misspellings in this post from AllTrails.)  The above comments were posted to the AllTrails app regarding the hike we took on Tuesday.

If I’m ranking the best trails I’ve ever hiked, Lake Ann would easily be top three. The backpacking route I did in Armenia, the Rose Lake Cliffs and Caribou Rock Trail in Northern Minnesota in the Fall, and the Lake Ann Trail in the North Cascades, but in no particular order.  I work as an overnight sea kayaking guide in the summer—the constant work in the outdoors means aside from work trips, I don’t get out much in the summer.

There can be a dark sort of satisfaction in seeing the wicked suffer physical pain. One of the reasons why Downfall - the film of Hitler's last days in his Berlin bunker - is so enthralling is that it shows the erstwhile Fuhrer as a stooped physical wreck, his arm shaking violent from Parkinson's. Hitler's broken body becomes a metaphor; the one who destroyed so much was in the end physically destroyed too.

(Paying Subscribers, a Shearing piano book is Attached for you, with Thanks.) George Shearing (1919-2011) became identified, even in the headlines of some of his obituaries, as the composer of “Lullaby of Birdland.” And that’s the title of his autobiography. Like many a trademark hit, this song could be a mixed blessing. In his book, Shearing struck a perfect chord of ambivalence: “I've played it so many times that it is possible to get quite tired of doing so — although I never tire of being able to pay the rent from it!

Aristotle was a student of Plato, but also eventually a teacher of Alexander the Great. As his student, Aristotle was influenced by the ideas of Plato, but they differed as well, and Aristotle criticizes some ideas and arguments of his teacher. Their approaches to philosophy were illustrated in the famous painting by Raphael, The School of Athens (1509-1511). In the center of this painting (see the image below) stand Plato on the left and Aristotle on the right.

Austin’s most famous street has earned the nickname “Dirty Sixth” over the past few years, with an unruly Bourbon Street-like atmosphere and a YouTube driven reputation for violence. It’s where teens from Killeen beef with bullets on weekends, and sometimes the scent of danger makes you forget the history of the street whose majority of buildings, even those housing tattoo parlors and frat bars, were erected in the late 1800s. East Sixth, from Brazos to Red River Streets, has the greatest concentration of limestone Victorian commercial buildings west of the Mississippi.

Note to readers: This is the first in a series of posts I’ll be writing about medieval outlaws. In the coming weeks we’ll cover characters like Fulk Fitzwarin, Eustache the Monk, Gamelyn, Adam Bell and more. Thanks to everyone who asked me to cover this topic. If you’d like to submit more suggestions for content, feel free to comment below. I’ll address the best ideas in future posts, or on the Friday morning podcast, First Draft.
