one of my supervisors. Fauci was one of the heros in a book we were all reading. I highly recommend this. And not just bc Randy and I went to the same HS. Fauci was the face of the all too slow government response. Play write Larry Kramer (Faggots) started ACT UP, an activist organization that
So this happened. I bought a planner, ostensibly for the upcoming academic year. Um, no. It’s more for astrology and tarot than psychology. It is so much fun. So I am standing on Market St telling my colleague Lori about how it’s guiding me through casting my natal chart and that I need to dust

rejects bc he was exhibiting extreme shell shock (it was 1950) with flashbacks and hypervigilance and a tad delusional and she hires Enid Pretty (I cast Julia Duffy and Nurse Cane) who is on the lam. Enid is described as wearing a tight pink suit and Pom Pom sandles (the kind paired with negligees)
The woo is fun. A lot is nonsense, but maybe not all of it. My mom’s bestie’s husband was a victim of a famous assault (irony…it was National Brotherhood day). Iris, his wife, felt it happen despite being geographically separated. John Gorman might see this as physiological attunement. The woo is
My blind in one eye dad memorized the eye chart so he could serve his country. Wounded in North Africa. Was a kind gentle dad. Small business owner. Thought hard about how to delight his kids: pool, roller skates, first to own pong. Always took care of his.
Weekend adventures. Surprise birthday party in painted post. Picking up birthday girls sister in Medina b4 we take Gwen (new red car) and the dogs to painted post. Chilling on Pam’s porch. Why leave?
Tie up Kumar and make him watch. Eventually they get away, but Daphne insists thatthey don't admit Kumar was there to protect him. The cop arrests him and jails him for publishing seditious material. Daphne gives birth and dies. Back in the 60s characters engaging in forbidden love had to die

I used my steps today to practice democracy. Village elections in Brockport. I voted a straight non-landlord ticket. I voted yes please keep the village court and doubled down on it and voted for my former student as justice! They grow up so fast.
I have an app that applies ny steps to streets in Rome. They pick the route. Except for the starting point, none of it was familiar until today! My steps to dinner at Barbers in Brockport got me to the exact location I hzd lunch 4 yrs ago and the Cappucini monk skull museum I visited 25 yrs ago
