i love this line: "...we cleaned the place so it looked like we had never been there, the way you straighten your apartment after a lover leaves and you sit at your desk to begin work." ushering out one state of pleasure to make room for another. wishing you and mister toon a cozy thanksgiving. xc
i’m going the the racetrack—apparently it’s a thing here—then a fancy meal out. (roast turkey isn’t really my fave.) you never say stupid things but it would be amusing to hear y’all try❤️
Understood. Think about this calamari, breaded and fluffing around in the oil, plucked out gold and brown and gold and brown, hot, crunchy salt, a fine dust of parsley, black pepper and so much lemon the lemon become calamari lemon oil, and the little ones with all the tentacles, soft and buttery, not chewy, and crunch. I dare you.
Is it turkey tyme with Laurie? Or your infernal ablity to upend my memory with those in my past, present or perhaps future? The Hockney. Marsha Weisman's pool. Also famous for the men. One standing . One in pool. Amongst famous art work in side her home. I was there . My brother in law lived in her guest home 53 years ago. His ex wife whom I adored was on of Marsha's best friends. POS. When there I went into the guest bathroom. The original Warhol Soup Can (or one of ) was on the wall in front of me . No need to read a magazine while doing my BiZ. I could go on. She was a charming afternoon delight! Norton Simon's sister. Suttton Place. My Mere (MOM) and Grandmere (May) lived just down from on 57th Street. Elegant, well behaved women! I USED to have a BIG LIFE (humour here) now . Husband. our black english lab et moi, eating turkey avec alllll l fixin's whilst our 3 children and 5 grands set their own table. Happy Feast! Jenn

Thanks, love, we are dodging another turkey dinner! We'll walk our Warren Street and say stupid things to each other. Wish you were with us.

Lovely piece as usual. Ax
Congratulations upon nod from "Lit Hub." Well-deserved. (For the record, I will eat absolutely nothing while wearing silk.)

I am unmoved
I just spilled coffee down my last cherry Bean tee. I can't be trusted with silk.
It feels like my fault. Oy. Sorry.
This is a lovely pot pourri of memories. It was a joy to read.
Thanks you! Not all are my memories . . . there is a narrator. xxL

Need an upgrade to paid link.
Don't you see it on the post? It's under the Black Friday Sale part of the post.
I don’t. I rechecked and all I see is Subscribed, and that takes me nowhere.

Didn’t work. I hunted more and found a page that told me I couldn’t upgrade to paid. Sorry, but I don’t have more time today to keep looking.
