I write plays - either short comedic - or longer historical
More old stuff: paintings by Mike's German grandfather that we had reframed about 15 yrs ago. The lamp base was my dad's creation. The nightstand & headboard from Italy 20 yrs ago but like the light & dark woods of my dad's early creations. Mike's childhood bear & his painting. Clock is retro only.

Here's something even older than the picture I shared recently. I bought it at an antique auction when I was 16. It's a folding chair with a narrow seat. I used to always have a mirror over it near the front door. I still have that large mirror that has come across country and hung in many halls

How do you see what you've already posted? I have no memory. Or not enough.

You know that 3 second rule? When you're old, it's at least 3 seconds to think about bending over, 3 seconds to bend over, 3 seconds to pick it up, 3 seconds to drop it and pick it up again ... and 3 seconds to wonder why the dog hasn't picked it up already.

I was on the phone to a friend who I known back in Boston 55+ yrs ago. I turned to look at a picture by my desk. An Xmas card to the fabric dept where I worked. It & its fine frame have travelled with me and hung in almost 20 places from Boston to Oregon. I think the pink was stronger. As were we.

Here's hoping massive numbers show up in protests today. Love someone's comments about T-word finally getting the actual crowds he imagined he had. (now that's an awkward sentence - you know what I mean?)

Pharmacist cheerfully asks "how are you today?" As grumpy old lady I say, "well I'm here because I'm f**ing in pain!"

Won a lottery! One of four plays chosen for Athena Project's June Rant and Rave. It might get read. At least some dramaturg feedback. Oh boy Doc Equi!

In my cancer support grp - “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” ― Hunter S. Thompson

Supposedly, I am living longer by taking Kisqali. (Doctor said do you want 1 year or 4-5 years. Well....) It was developed by Novartis. I'm not able to see if some federally funded research helped bring this drug to market. But I am in favor of research and glad this drug came out in 2017.

Dang, it's been a while again. I keep forgetting Blue Sky and not the stationary company.
Anyway, drug trials continue. Blood shows liver is okay. So back on and backed up right away. Ugh.
Personal trial goes on.

For those who like gory details - my cancer-fighting drug decided to send me for a spin around the street yesterday morning - I was trying to take the dog for a walk (he was oblivious to my trauma) but at least four people thought I needed help and wasn't a disgusting drunk - and indeed they helped.

I'm often a dunce a 'searching' - but where are the US playwrights? West coast? Live theaters?

(Adjusting to max blathering words.) Yesterday I left off about writing plays. Something I did as a kid and not again until my 60s. I started a group, 45th Parallel Playwrights, to help me and others write. We have met since 2019 and produced a couple of showcases. Now on Zoom twice a month.

I am still debating who to be on Bluesky. I am of the 1960s. Long time radical. But family person too somehow. Nature lover. But love my conveniences. I used to lead walks & know a few wildflowers. Have had veggie & flower gardens. Love to eat out. Used to write short stories. Now I focus on plays.

Starbuck workers are on strike in a few places. But why would you ever go to a Starbucks anyway? Kind of like McDonalds. You know what you're going to get and it's often a filthy environment. In Portland we have hundreds of coffee shops. No need to go to *bucks.

Just ask Google (I used to like Ask Jeeves. That's how old I am.) Anyway I wondered when we started using the term survivor for people who didn't die from cancer. Answer: 1985. Dr. Mullan. I hate the term myself. And the whole "battle" description. I got it again. And I'm doing what I can.

What else about me?
I write plays and try to help other people write.
I love baseball, but it's impossible to be a fan in Portland. I'm a longtime Giants fan, but the services(?) seem to think I should drive to SF to watch a game or else pay for it.

I can't seem to keep this place in my mind. So used to FB, where people I know are and where people and talking dogs I don't know, keep me entertained.

Dang. I almost forgot I was on here. Still wondering who I should be here. The sincere me? The raving radical me? The gardening me? The art museum me? The mess that I am? Do you take on another persona when on social media? Are you true to yourself?

Dog is okay. Like go to vet? Why? I'm fine. No problem. Temporary two days of puking.
I'm also fine for someone with stage iv cancer. It's only the beginning. Think of it as 4.1 cancer

Saw a Calvin (I think) cartoon stating the thing about life is no matter how bad it is, it can get worse.
And so the dog has been puking his heart out.
