Keeper’s Corner - Tim Ferriss's 5-Bullet Friday

Friday is already our day. You vote, you argue with a friend, you wait. Here is one more thing worth opening while you do.

Every Friday, Tim Ferriss sends five things he found that week. A book, a gadget, a strange little habit, a question he cannot stop chewing on. It takes about two minutes to read and it usually leaves you with one thing you want to try before Monday.

Free, and about the length of a Choice.

One thing, since we tell each other things here. It only comes on Fridays, so give it two of them. Open the first one, then catch the next. That is when you find out whether it is for you.

Tuesday. The kitchen, eight exactly.

The key turned on the hour, the way it had since before Daniel finished school. Shoulder first, canvas bag, the two-beat scuff. Marta read the room from one step inside, poured her coffee, drank half of it at the tall window, and became a system.

"You're dressed for town," she said, tying the apron.

"After lunch. The framer. I'm finally feeding that frame a photograph."

"Good. A frame with nobody in it is a question, and this house has enough." The eggs went on, unasked. "Eat first. You've had a week on you since I saw you last."
