I want to thank my family here. "Each and Ev-ry One." When I took my nose dive, seemingly (but luckily not) un-tethered, it was hurried. I did not have time, or pretty much inclination, to scribble replies to reasonable inquiries. Tap tap. (They were reasonable and genuine.) (So The Court tells me.) (Eeek.) [No really, I know they were. I apologize.] Yet also, I'm basically rude and self centered. When I can't cover impoliteness, I always snuggle my overcoat and think back to the maxim, "tough titties." ["Tough Titties, Your Honor." "Be seated."] There's a pit-lake into which the Aztecs threw people, off the long stone causeway. It was two or three hundred feet to the water. In darkness. Like, well, a plummet. I don't think it mattered if you were face up, or down, or bunched up or feet first or plugged your nose. Of course, flyers were sans heart and travel necessities. But there was no real destination, either. So. We won't go into why that's my choice of over-dramatic imagery. Kay? The more I work at this, and the less, the better. Let's put this whole ugly incident behind us, behind the bushes, and drive off dustily. I survived; but I beat you guys up. Like a teen, or pre-teen thing. (Time to search my room?) And now I would like to snuggle in, fill my parking space, like nothing happened. How long can a person do this bad behavior? How long have you got? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next week's course: "Manic Depression ~ Is It Really?"

Pret-a-porter? How did I miss this insult? Or was it a confession? WEre those thongs not lovingly and expensively constructed by small people in dark rooms just for me-me-me? Never have I worn an off the rack thong. My GOD. WHat do you take me for. WEll, if we are confessing humiliating moments in our stage lives... During a summer production of Pippin, I was playing the role of Catherine and she has this dramatic scene where she runs after Pippin crying "I love you, Pippin, I love you!" For me this involved having to run up a few steps. On opening night, I tripped and fell flat on my face on the steps. Not to be deprived of my most dramatic moment however, I stretched my hands out after Pippin, sobbing, (mostly from embarrassment and bruised knees), "But I LOVE YOU, PIPPIN! I LOVE YOUuuuu" The director came backstage after the show and put his hands on my shoulders, gazed into my eyes, and said, "God that was so brilliant! I loved it! Keep it."
