Steven E. Young, Chairman of the Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation’s Board of Directors, announced today that the Museum Foundation has received a gift of approximately $100,000,000 from Margie Petersen and the Margie & Robert E. Petersen Foundation.
The Petersen Museum in Los Angeles is the most significant automotive museum in the United States, perhaps even the world. What an amazing gift.
This story sounds more like one of those questions a 12-year-old me would make up to ask my friends: “If you had $100 million to spend on cars, what would you do…?”
How cool would it be to be in charge of the Petersen right now?

@debrachaput just finished a fresh batch of Grandma Del Ben’s spaghetti sauce.
Brilliant: samples of various single malts allow you a 30 mL taste test before you commit to an entire bottle.
The lineup includes a Glenfarclas 1952 Family Cask. Price? £1530 ($2,490 USD) for the bottle, but the sample will set you back only £80.45 ($131 USD).
That’s about $4.37 per drop.

Writing is chasing a question—an inquiry of the mind. Forward is better than every direction at once. It’s not really writing until you feel something; until you choke up at a thought, until you start fidgeting in your seat in excitement, until you feel the twinge of pain that happens when a thorn is pulled out of your side. Go back. Delete everything before you started fidgeting or crying or deflating like a balloon. Then, write some more.
Frank Chimero eloquently captures one of the reasons I started punchingIN: not just because I have something to say, but because sometimes I wonder if I do.
punchingIN is a place for me to think. Publishing simply sets the bar for that thinking uncompromisingly high.
