My girls trip collided with the annual Tennessee Williams literary festival held and so Tennessee became the theme that tied everything together – from discovering New Orleans from his eyes, to watching his inner life dramatized for better or worse – Tennessee bought a house on Dumaine that he said he wanted to die in as I say I was to die here at the LaLa. Turns out he choked on a prescription pill bottle…
The girls left for Boston I am leaving for Chicago Tatjana is returning from Europe Coming and going, going and coming, and always too soon.
What happens on the girl’s trip stays with the girl’s trip – from telling a singer to stop smoking and comparing that to stepping on a prima ballerina’s toes to where’s the plastic bag? to putting air quotes on “air quotes” and a seafood platter that leads to a turkey neck, to a neighbor who makes daiquiris out of fresh pears and hides dark chocolate in them, to lots of talk of mother and a…
Another eel came into the world today – Welcome Nina!!! We will teach you the way of the eel.

I was at Swirl the other day picking up some crackers and a bottle of wine for my neighbor when a bottle fell off the counter and shattered. They were about to begin their tasting and I said good, got the breakage over early and so the tension is gone.…
I taped and watched Oprah’s segment of Women Who Leave Men for Women. But I would have given it a different title like – Women have different sexual expressions – GET OVER IT. For years, because it applied to the rules, women have been having sex with men that was based on the single pursuit of the orgasm. Oh, and women like to come too for godsakes, it’s not that, but there is so much…
