Making the most of my insomnia and reading Angela Flournoy's 2nd novel, The Wilderness. Like the structure- each section is divided by year and by voice, a different female friend is centered each time.

I love that one. Did you see Lucky? There is a moment near the end where he looks at the camera in such a way that I thought he was saying goodbye/acknowledging his mortality.

That whole stretch of road is so gorgeous this time of year.

I'm with you- in this case literally-my father was also a mail carrier & veteran and my mom an executive assistant. Hairdresser only to 4 reluctant children.

Im watching a friend's puppy while he is at the ER, and it has come to this. Fences. Agatha in the chair like a little gargoyle, and Luther doing his best If this gate weren't here, I'd... Meanwhile, the puppy is finally asleep after 3 hrs.

Not a slaw or fish eater, but do you know if they are decent roasted? That was my inclination, but i put it off as I wasn't sure how to season, etc. I have to keep everything simple as I have a ton of food allergies.

I didnt have any last week, thus my finishing everything up. Tell me what to do with it? I find it intimidating!

Oh, wow. this is an album release tie in? Imagine that was fairly new marketing technique. I'm gonna look for it.

Are you talking about Kohlrabi?

In light of his just boys comments, someone should ask him about his Jay Jones comments given he was just a boy of 33 when he made them.

That guy was an even bigger liar than Telecom Liechtenstein (me, a novice assuming there is no way they didn't know they were being exploited)

Had a few flights over the long weekend and read both "These Days" by Lucy Caldwell and "Dominion" by Addie E. Citchens. Perfect flight books/under 300 pages.

Helped Priester out too. Think his nerves are showing. Can't believe how good he has been since the Bucs, then Red Sox moved him.

Need to revisit. "That time is no healer: the patient is no longer here" has stayed with me for over 20 years

I would love to pull off Dolly, but alas I sound like a female Elliott Smith, lol. Me & Little Andy is my gateway Dolly. One of my mom's favs.

At every turn, a great actor. Was not expecting Dale Dickey! But made perfect sense.

This is unrelated, but you are watching The Lowdown, right? Reminds me a bit of Terriors.

My most glaring example: heard Wonderwall for the first time maybe 5 years ago
