Force of Will

The impact of the last year on our approach to this one, people who misrepresent their emotional gains, people who believe change is brought about by force of will, how hero's turn the tables in action movies, my history as a cigarette smoker, Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" compared to his earlier work, Elmore Leonard inspiring my recent interest in firearms, returning to Dostoyevsky with "The Adolescent," my recent malaise, and promising to do better with the podcast next week.
