It\u2019s important to note that I ate a four-pound lobster for dinner yesterday and it was tasty.<\/p>\n
We went to this shack of a place Thurston\u2019s in Bar Harbor. You walk up and order your lobster while he or she is still alive. The brave high school kid at the ordering window plucks a meaty red beast from the small tanks, weighs it, and then drops it in a sack with corn\u2026 to be boiled to death. The whole process made me think of David Foster Wallace\u2019s essay, \u201cConsider the Lobster,\u201d which calls out to the reader to empathize with the lobster as he or she takes his or her bath of eternal rest.<\/p>\n
But, really. It\u2019s lobster and it\u2019s good and there is butter right there to dip it in and that makes it even better. Maybe I\u2019ll write, \u201cConsider the Fact that I\u2019m Craving Lobster,\u201d and mail it to David.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
