Godmorgen på denne smukke forårsdag. Det er snart helligdage en masse, men inden vi når dertil, skal vi lige omkring en morgenpost. Jeg har samlet en stak læs- og seværdige ting, du skal tjekke i dag:
____________
"The moon turns red and orange during a total lunar eclipse due to a perfect alignment of the sun, Earth and the moon, otherwise known as a syzygy."
"In the summer of 2012 my father-in-law telephoned one night with some surprising news: His wife of 55 years suddenly did not recognize him. She had recently been diagnosed with very early-stage dementia, but her symptoms had not yet been this severe. Over the phone, my wife and I eventually convinced my mother-in-law of the truth: Her husband was not an impostor. I’d seen dementia’s toll on my patients. Now I was watching the disease unravel my family."
Demens er måske den sygdom, jeg frygter allermest. Både selv at få men også at være vidne til. Stærk artikel på Washington Post.

"Evidence has come to light that whales can live for 150 years or more. A harpoon with the date of 1880 in it was removed from a bowhead whale recently. Since whalers (then) didn’t shoot at calves, and whales tend to reach full growth in about 30 years, that makes that whale in the 200 year range."
"In the end, if you choose to vaporize and inhale alcohol, it will get you drunk very quickly. You will however, increase your chance of a deadly overdose and potential addiction significantly."
"It’s a marvelous thing, the ocean. For some reason when two people sit together looking out at it, they stop caring whether they talk or stay silent. You never get tired of watching it. And no matter how rough the waves get, you’re never bothered by the noise the water makes by the commotion of the surface - it never seems too loud, or too wild."
Ikke rigtig nogen anledning, blot et godt citat der rammer lige præcis den opfattelse, jeg også har af havet. Fandt det på den glimrende blog That Kind of Woman.

"Good management is not hard to find. Great management talent is hard to find. Great designers are hard to find. There’s a lot of people who think they can design."
Interessant interview med grundlæggeren af et af verdens stærkeste tøjmærker, Ralph Lauren, ovre på WWD. Jeg er dybt fascineret af den virksomhed.
The Futility of Existence. Oh, life. Så meget symbolik i denne video.

En god guide til den kortærmede skjorte. Glem tidligere tiders modeller med hawaiiprint og referencer til dårlige charterferier. Den kortærmede skjorte kan sagtens godkendes, hvis blot den bæres ordentligt. Perfekt til sommer.

"To dress like Don Draper is to give into the dress code. It's taking the "personal" out of "personal style." It's being a suit and not wearing one because you want to. Draper is more of a testament to the power that a tall, athletic frame can bring to a tailored suit rather than the instant zap of confidence that comes from putting on something that makes you feel like a million bucks. Don Draper is a champion of conformity, not self-expression."
Det er ret sjovt, hvordan fiktive personer kan afføde artikler og diskussioner i et væk. Igen, jeg har ikke set meget Mad Men, men ovre på Four Pins mener de, at Roger Sterling er det ultimative stilikon fra serien. Og det har de ret i.

Det var alt for i dag og jo faktisk også for denne uge, da i morgen og fredag er helligdage. Det er mandag også, så jeg er først tilbage med morgenposten på tirsdag igen. Til gengæld kan jeg så love dig for, at den er mere hårdtpumpet end Arnold. Husk forresten at bestille et bord på Osteria 16, hvis du ikke har været der. Jeg har nu spist der to gange og du får 8-9 retter for 250 kr. og det er virkelig sublimt og meget nede på jorden. Afsted!
Jeg kan love dig for, at jeg har meget på hjerte. Men det kommer jeg ikke til at blande ind i min karriere. Det er ikke professionelt interessant for mig at udtale mig om ting. At jeg selv mener en masse i det private … fair snak. Men den snak kan jeg tage med nogle venner.
