I\u2019m settling down after today\u2019s photo shoot which I think turned out pretty good. When I really put in the effort, they can take a lot out of me. A cup of chai and half a whole-grain sourdough English muffin with PB & honey, I\u2019m feeling sufficiently restored to focus on another note to you guys \u2014 two weeks in a row! Not a bad consistency for me. Let\u2019s see if I can manage another one next week. And by the way, before I forget, after rewatching \u201cSwept Away\u201d last week I started thinking to myself, \u201cif any of these guys watch it, hope they don\u2019t start getting ideas about me,\u201d because I was only about 19 the first time I saw it, and may have rewatched it since, but I totally forgot just how abusive the chauvinism got. There was a lot of stereotyping, generally not okay, but it helps in telling a story about class struggles, sex, and power, and how different it looks when the playing field shifts. At any rate, depending on when we get back from a restaurant on the harbor (tomorrow\u2019s my birthday), I might just have to push for a rewatch of \u201cThe Seduction of Mimi,\u201d another Wertmuller-Giannini film.

My latest book of essays is \u201cAppalachian Reckoning\u201d and it\u2019s been excellent so far.

Tomorrow, besides being my birthday, is the start of National Hispanic Heritage month, and SPLC has some great literary classics on their list.

And one I haven\u2019t read yet, but am looking forward to; I love reading anything positive and encouraging, and the headline grabbed me. (And not by the pussy either.)

Now, gotta get ready for a dinner out on the harbor, and eek, I still haven\u2019t managed to get more invoices out today, but they are coming, they\u2019re coming. Promise. I do, I do, I do\u2026<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
