I had a FABULOUS time talking
w/ Bruce Haseley's Vid Prod class about screenwriting at the @evitnews.bsky.social Fountain Hills.
It all starts with a great story.

What wonderful opportunities this school provides!

(I needed & greatly appreciated
that opportunity.
THANK you.💙)

"You look extra handsome today".

K. It was actually her husband,
but the sentiment is appreciated nonetheless.

Hopefully, he includes that in his review.

It's James Dean standing next to his

I know lots of people,
and have several acquaintances.
However, I don't have any friends.

I don't have anywhere to go,
nor anyone to go anywhere with.

I struggle with being alone
and loneliness.

Out Loud Thoughts Of RMD

Monday.
A voice "You're very handsome."

"Me?"
"Yes. I saw you last week, and thought
'Now, he's a looker'."

Nearly in tears; grateful & appreciative.
Her coffee is on me.
A wonderful conversation ensues.
She's truly a beautiful being,
"as in morning".

My cell given.
Hopeful.

To do good for others,
feels good for self.
