I have have 4 more degrees than you! Somehow, that doesn't make me feel much better.
Boo transportation issues.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I second taxi 'cause that's not the safest walk at that hour.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My brother caught a little snow. Nothing as bad as we did, though. But it is Birmingham and they are even less prepped than here.
What did he send me pix of? One of D on the deckin wee snow and..one of his 3 turbos. Snork.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I knew that, with the cold, the bookstore today would be either deader than dead or busier than hell. I got both. We were deader than dead until 11:15, and then just swamped until I left at 5:00.
Why? Why did all of those people venture forth from their toasty warm houses into twenty below windchills? Why did they all want me to wrap their books? Why?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm thinking I may as well drive and eat the parking cost. On the plus side, I'll get home much faster.
Kathy, I have no answers to those questions. I could see how coffee and books seemed like a more immediate cozy (than home) from the vantage point of the parking lot. But why they ventured out in the first place? Who knows.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Okay, back.
So, NewYorkistas: is the name Danny Hoch familiar to you? Because if it's not, it should be.
And Bay Area-istas should make an attempt to see "Taking Over" at the Berkeley Rep, if you can. It's a fab one-man show about gentrification in Brooklyn: look, someone talking about class and race in America! Shocking, I know! Funny, grim, horrible, and brutally true. The scene with the hipster gal in the poncho, selling vintage t-shirts and used cds on the sidewalk? Was painfully, painfully accurate. Ouch.
Talented guy, honestly. Very very talented. "We asked for better schools and they gave us muffins."

Our wings are not tired
I worked a little bit with Danny quite a few years ago at the Ojai Playwrights Festival. He was workshopping some of his new material. Seems like a really interesting guy.
