Watching this movie. Feels like I’m re-living the past few weekends of my life. Know what I mean, Helen?

I was literally just sitting here wondering what song I should listen to. Thank you for making a great decision for me, Grace.

Now I am 25.

“This year will see you outgoing, positive, young at heart, and able to see the bright side of almost any situation. You might have the opportunity to enjoy travel, competition, being a team player, the life of the party, or the one who lights up a room. Your exuberance or confidence will become contagious. You will demonstrate a gift for boosting the esteem of others; however, you may be exhausting or draining to others around you. You might get carried away, have manic tendencies, or not know when to slow down. Learning to balance a sunny, extroverted disposition with the need to chill out once in a while will result in genuine gratitude for just being alive. This will be a really exciting year for you!”

TOTALLY PSYCHED

Salt and Kidder were an odd couple, the Lady and the Tramp. Salt was the princess from Sarah Lawrence. Kidder, from a blue-collar family, was raised in trailers and motel rooms, or nearly so. She was cute and scrappy, funny, a tomboy, and enormously bright. Salt taught her how to dress; she taught Salt how to hotwire cars.

A collage by Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong. His music was always playing around my grandfather’s house when I was a kid. Never knew he was also a talented visual artist.

“Yo Doug, it’s Larry. I’m standing here with a 12 year old prostitute and a garden gnome and we wanna know where you are.”

Listening to a lot of this while I work on my novel. Enjoying the exercise in letting myself write total crap so far.

Every once in a while I feel compelled to post pictures of 1970s Robert De Niro on the internet. So, deal.
