Mom called to say she got a call from D – my sister’s husband – saying that he loves S and doesn’t want her to leave. This was a different version of the story that S told her, which was that he said he had had enough. Between the four of them over there – my sister, D and the two boys – it’s hard to know who did what to whom on any given…
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to a man. – Leon Trotsky Last night at Bacchanal, I saw R walk up and I told C that G was interested in him – and he said, “that old man?” – you don’t know it till you cross over the line into midlife or whatever this segment is called (my hairdresser in SF said it’s not midlife because we are not…
Last night at Bacchanal, 007 played a streamlined Carribean beat (missing were the steel drums), it almost felt like I was on a cruise with the most eclectic crowd on the planet. The crowd was exceptionally diverse last night – R came in dressed the way G likes him, A and C were there with a group of their own, P&E showed up and left because the line was too long for food – C…
Just got a message that the J-man loves his Ocho and asks about me. Little boys – oh thank heaven for little boys.
The cousins have been safely carted back to Miami care of American Airlines – AA called from Atlanta to catch up and said she’s joined a Loser Lesbian club and surprisingly enough there are a lot of losers out there so she has been meeting a lot of new people. She was calling from one new friend’s house. Meanwhile, my niece called and I called her back as she was driving back to college –…
A new friend called me this evening to ask if I could go for a shopping-lunch excursion on Monday – and I said no way, jammed so tight with work then travel next week – I won’t barely have time to eat lunch. She said it was kind of weird reading about herself on my blog and that it could get pretty dicey living in a small town and writing about your friends (and not).…
I took my cousin and her husband on the Misery Tour and then K found out that the Monteleone was unable to fix CBS on the television set and so it was decided that he would watch the Florida/Tennessee game here at my house – now this was supposedly my night off – my night to stay in, refresh, relax, lounge for the Lord, whatever – but instead there was football going on all night…
After Pilates, I went to get Jake and take him to the park – Danneel Playground – the same park my mother took me to when I was his age – it’s on Octavia and St. Charles Avenue. The trees were thinned by the storm and so there is even less shade there now. A father came with his kids and when J was flying after one of the little boys on the firetruck jungle…
I was speaking to an old source of mine in the newspaper business who I talk to about print advertising and he has taken on a new venture in his life after leaving a major metropolitan paper earlier in the year. Because his new venture is covered by my company, I put him in touch with the reporter who has been leading the research on WIMAX since it began – they spoke for two and…
