one thing today

  Melania said that she is not Jeffrey Epstein's victim.  She said he did not introduce her to Donald Trump. Her accent gets thicker and thicker as the sick plot  thickens.

  I'm reading a collection of his plays. One of the characters in Jeffrey says - of his waiter friends new guy ... Steves a bartender so they can fall in love and cater together. It will be like Roots. He was a guest on my gay pride show in the 90s. I told him my favorite line of his in his movie column was that Spike Lee was an activist Vincent Minnelli. He said Spike didn't know what he meant by it. Do you? Hint: Denzel wore Armani suits in Mo Better Blues .  

 

Rachel Dratch was on Celebrity Jeopardy last night and told Ken Jennings she didn't prepare at all for the game. She answers the first answer about something that happened in the 16th century ... the Spanish Armada. Correct. She says ... I have goose bumps ... I told the guy who did my hair today the same thing and he said ... what do ya mean - like what was the Spanish Armada.  I worked with a woman named Hope. Thirty years ago say ... and one morning long after I stopped working -  I am in the middle of a dream where she is looking for my building.  I am awakened by the phone ringing - in real life- and it's Hope. Saying hello for the first time ever. 

  a gray, not warm, lazy afternoon. a Rifleman episode reminds me of a high school retreat run by a priest who looked just like Chuck Connors. we were told or thought he was his holy twin. I wiki him. The Brooklyn native only had a sister. wow. even back then. sometimes nothing was for certain was certainly the case ... and then what pops in my head ...  when bombs and ice blue something occupies a race.  Google says the phrase "when bombs and ice-blue-something have occupied a race" comes from the lyrics of the song "I Dig Rock And Roll Music" by Peter, Paul and Mary.  This is also not true. I know the song. And I just checked. But the picture comes to focus On what some folks hold dear, And the prospect of its value Being lessened by the fear That nothing is for certain, Which is certainly the case When bombs and ice-blue-something Have occupied a race." 

The author of My Breakfast with Lucian mentioned that mega  masterful painter Freud was very likely the father of 25 children. He acknowledged 15 of them. In 1967 alone, he fathered 3 children. When the author asked him how he managed that, he answered, "I had a bicycle." Now comes good sailing.  Thoreaus' last                                                                                                                                                 words
