Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of March 19, 2023

By David Himmel

• The best thing about Las Vegas is not the shows, the food, or the access to all the sex stuff. It’s the way the mountains flirt with popcorn clouds among the delicate shades of pink and blue in the sky.

• It’s incredible what the human body is capable of. When after months of not training at all, one can still drink something like 400 beers, stay up until 3:30 a.m. laughing and yelling, then wake up alive the next morning and still have a job, friends, and a spouse.

The Last of Us makes us feel scared and awful. Ted Lasso makes us feel safe and hopeful. My television schedule is bipolar.

• Everyone must prioritize themselves at least as often as they prioritize others. The trick is to do it without being a selfish putz about it. Kind of a hybrid approach to relationships. That’s what makes them difficult; we must be our most selfish and selfless at the same time.

• What’s worse? The war in Ukraine or your hotel’s wifi? The right answer is not the popular one.

• There is no better texture profile than a taco.
