Good Friday


 



More Gods Love.  My team mates hesitate to initiate conversation - but once I do - its off to the races for three hours while we make 1700 meals. I feel like I wanna be Norma Rae - how bout a five minute pee/water break. Maybe get us off our dogs for a minute say. Dean laughed at me saying "I'm too lazy to be a liar." By far, the people profile is: Brooklyn, grandchildren, well travelled. I am such a unicorn of a different color. On the way home I went to Reminiscence vintage clothing half price sale. A fab flannel shirt for 12 bucks.  Maggie who works there talked Harris tweed jackets with me and showed me hers and said “I have no idea why I have these dog biscuits in my pocket.  I don’t have a dog.”

At one point while she’s making coffee, prettying up for him in front of the bathroom mirror and dealing with an old nosey neighbor - he looks at an album of Mussolini fotos he assumes is one of her six childrens. It's hers - a scrapbook of her savior and sex symbol. Brilliant.   Watch a ’77 Cavett interview with SL and MM on the Tube. It affirms you don’t have to be skinny and blond and twenty to emit  heart stopping sex appeal.

Buck

My friends and I are so old everything reverberates. My lovely lifelong friend Mrs Johnson sends me a birthday greeting that encourages me to go buck wild but not too buck wild .  When I was around ten, I thought my name was too plain. My large family was upstate in the country on vacation.  There was a neighbor dog named Mitsy. I saw him one evening in our yard and forgot that on the other side of our large screened in porch, my family was finishing dinner. I felt like I was alone and commanded the dog - Mitsy come to Buck. Big howling ensued from inside the house. It became intergenerational family lore and I recalled it today when I opened the card from my dear companion.
