Larry Brown’s Shack
“But Larry died of a heart attack in November 2004. He was only fifty-three years old. He never got to write in the Shack the way he planned. He never got to sit there with his typewriter thumping as the morning sun streaked through the trees and the gray heron swooped across the water. He didn’t get to watch the trees grow and the seasons change in the place he worked so hard to create.”
Such a moving piece: part eulogy, part story, part reminiscence…

//On April 24th, Aikins and his cousin Andy Farrington with the help of aeronautics engineer will attempt a new project, dubbed “Plane Swap,” a project that I’ve read the plans for over a dozen times and ever so slightly participated in myself, and still can’t full comprehend.//
Execution is the key
Read the whole thing. It’s delicious!
“When teams complain of struggles with execution, we too often look to the individuals and ask why they aren’t doing better. In reality, execution is more often about culture, processes, and values than it is about individuals. As you build your companies, products, and teams, keep in mind the many things that can get in the way of execution. Unblocking your teams and unlocking your full potential means identifying and addressing these barriers.”
Ken Kesey’s letter
Damn, this was difficult reading. And then i came to the end…and my heart broke!
We’ve heard since that they used twelve things out of him, including corneas. And the redwinged blackbirds sing in the budding greengage plumtree.
