Events and Miscellanea: September 19, 2025
In the realm of cinema, the 1950 Western film 'Winchester '73,' starring James Stewart, is a must-watch. Directed by Anthony Mann, this classic follows the story of Lin McAdam, a man on a quest to retrieve his stolen Winchester '73 rifle. The rifle changes hands across the Old West, linking together a cast of characters in an unexpected and thrilling journey.
Moving away from the silver screen, let's delve into the world of health and fitness. In the 19th century, advice on nutrition, exercise, care, and sports was anonymously published in the USA. It wasn't until later that this unknown author became known as the famous American poet, Walt Whitman. Whitman's health-related writings were later compiled in his book, 'Walt Whitman's Guide to Manly Health and Training.' One of his quotes, while not associated with a specific date or context, resonates strongly today: 'For every hour spent in regular exercise, we have proof that an hour is added to our life.' This quote suggests that failure is not a crime, but low aim is.
Now, let's shift our focus to the world of fashion. John Thompson, the mind behind the 'Live a Little' Substack newsletter, curates a variety of products for his readers. From selvedge denim to camping gear, Thompson's picks are designed to enhance one's outdoor adventures. Among his favourites are the Feetures Elite Max Cushion Tab Socks. These socks, made in the USA, are long-lasting and feature targeted compression and anatomical design, ensuring a comfortable fit for both left and right feet.
Lastly, for those with a love for words, Thompson's 'Field Journal' section offers cool stories from the internet. Recently, he highlighted a quote by James Russell Lowell that encourages individuals to write their own sublime words, even if they have limited time: 'Life is a leaf of paper white... Greatly begin!'
As we navigate through life, these diverse pieces of information serve as reminders of the richness and diversity of our world. Whether it's the thrill of a Western film, the wisdom of a poet, the comfort of a good pair of socks, or the inspiration of a well-chosen quote, there's always something new to discover.
