Johnny and Maureen and me. Hanging in Tangier on Revolution Day here.
PILGRIM LIFE: Tangier. And so my summer in Morocco begins with a traditional Tangier breakfast. Back to olives and roasted figs and yogurt with my eggs . They like turkey here instead of bacon i.e. pork. And great coffee. Onward …

PILGRIM LIFE: Next. Tonight I leave Porto after my two months here to fly off to Tangier for the summer. It will be a return there after my two months last year there. It will be a bit of a homecoming in its way. See you tonight, Morocco. Three photos from my time there last fall.

seven years ago on this date I was saying hello to this guy after his performance in Boys in the Band on Broadway. Matt Bomer has always been a good actor but in the intervening years he has just gotten better and better and better. His work in Fellow Travelers was truly deeply great.

Arriving home from seeing a film last night then looking out at that moon hovering over my Airbnb’s garden here in Porto while I cooked my dinner. LLife can be lonely but also lovely. It is in such simple quiet moments where I find the most gratitude living this pilgrim’s life.

Surrender face. When you get up at 5 a.m. to get to the airport 2 hours early and your flight to Paris departs an hour late. So you tell yourself, man, you woke up in Porto and are going to bed in Paris. It’s all about context. Onward …

Thought you’d get a kick out of this. This is my new 86 year old friend named Carol who is moving here to Porto from ny’s upper east side and changing her life. It’s never too late . An inspiration. When I told her I was 69 she said, “a youngster, darling, a mere youngster.”

A neo-fascist and a fascist walk into a bar …
Or the Kremlin .. oh, no, wait .. it’s the White House which just looks like the Kremlin. It politically has resembled lately but visually does as well now that The Tacky Know-Nothing Fascist Vulgarian has moved back into it.

Like her Dear Leader, every accusation is a confession from this one. Stefanik said of Harvard after its leadership stood up to Trump and his fascist fist regime that the university is the “epitome of the moral and academic rot in higher education.”
No. Wrong. This is the face of moral rot.

If Pennsylvania’s Governor Shapiro and his family had lived in a Tesla dealership, Trump and members of his now fascist GOP would have been condemning this. But on the first night of passover after Shapiro and his family had had a Seder dinner in this house and this arson having occurred: crickets.
