Learned: Netflix has a series that my father might like called “Godless.” He would be surprised that the cast is all woman. About how much is a knob of butter. DA wants his tombstone to say “This wasn’t on the list.” Margaret Cho is 49. Today is Cocoa Day.
3. A clever baker. Rituals. Seborrheic Dermatitis Cream. 3.
Seems: Like when I stay on my own a lot, what I forget how much I love people. Like people love it when they spot an opportunity to talk about their pets. Like around this time of year, the weather feels stale if it’s too nice. Like African Americans in Alabama have spoken. Like so much is happening, it can’t all be recorded.

Accomplished: I did a little performance in which I asked the audience to yell out the name of their cats. It was tremendous! I felt that cats would come running. I met a new friend, initials JS. We have stuff in common. Retreat was therapeutic. I’m adding “beautification” to my rehab game. It’s probably what I mean anyway.
Thinking about: How long it’s been since I sent one of these out. How forward I’m looking to the end of being the registrar. Constructing a different life than I thought I was going to have that isn’t so defined by being exhausted.
Q: When and what was the last thing that kind of woke you up and shook you to your core?
My Answer: Hearing from a friend about his brother who had esophageal cancer and how that all went.
